Process Safety Risk Category Standard

by Murray Taylor, from the Community

This process safety risk category standard ensures robust control of chemical and industrial processes. It guides risk ownership and competencies, mandates current process safety information and hazard analyses, and aligns design, maintenance, and modifications with API and ASME codes. The checklist reinforces PSSR operational readiness, permit to work, positive isolation and lockout tagout, validation of trip functions, interlocks, and emergency shutdowns, and upkeep of detection, earthing, and ignition source control. It covers emergency and spill response, management of change, contractor competency, statutory inspections, monitoring of safety metrics, and thorough incident investigation and audits.

Risk Category Standard for Working in Confined Spaces
Use this risk category standard to plan and control safe work in confined spaces. It defines risk roles and competencies, permit to work requirements, positive isolation and lockout tag out, cleaning and purging, ventilation setup, and continuous atmospheric testing with calibrated gas detectors and safe oxygen limits. It outlines full time standby person duties, communication and entry logging, and clear emergency response and rescue planning. Reference related standards for working at heights and high risk machinery, adapt the checklist to your site, and keep records for compliance and audits.
