    PSM (Process Safety Management) Key Elements

    • Employee Participation: Involve employees in decisions, feedback, and training.
    • Process Hazard Analysis (PHA): Using methods like HAZOP and FMEA.
    • Operating Procedures (SOPs): Standard Operating Procedures and emergency responses.
    • Training: SOPs, emergency responses, equipment handling.
    • Mechanical Integrity: Pressure vessels, pipelines, pumps, etc.
    • Management of Change (MOC): Pre-start-up safety reviews.
    • Safety Audits: Regular reviews of safety procedures.
    • Incident Investigation: Investigating incidents to identify causes and prevent future ones.
    • Emergency Planning and Response: Preparing for and responding to gas releases, fires, explosions, and chemical spills.
    • Compliance with Standards and Regulations: Adhering to relevant safety regulations.

    Hazardous Materials Management

    • Identification and Classification of Hazardous Materials: Classifying substances based on flammability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity, using SDS and GHS.
    • Properties of Hazardous Materials: Understanding flammability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity of materials.
    • Classification and Labeling of Chemicals: Using globally standardized systems like GHS (Globally Harmonized System).
    • Storage and Labelling: Proper storage and labeling of chemicals.
    • Handling and Use: Training on handling and using hazardous materials including Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

    • Work Environment and Organizational Culture: Assessing the impact of the culture on human performance.
    • Training and Competency: Evaluating training programs and worker competency in safety procedures.
    • Human Performance Tools: Utilizing tools like behavioral safety audits, performance feedback, checklists, and error reporting systems to identify and mitigate issues.
    • Fatigue Management: Addressing fatigue as it affects human error and performance.
    • Team Performance and Communications: Improving team performance and communication to ensure safety.
    • Human Machine Interface (HMI): Understanding the interface between humans and machinery.

    Liability Insurance Coverages

    • Strict Liability: Holding parties accountable for damages even without proof of negligence.
    • Product Liability: Coverage for issues arising from defects in products.
