Expand to Other Processes

Process safety management has been applied primarily in the chemical process industries. However, the concepts of PSM, and the approaches used for implementing PSM, can be applied equally well to any manufacturing process that uses chemical products. Manufacturing industries as diverse as semiconductor manufacturing 2md food processing can, and do, apply PSM to improve safety and operations. 

The process described in this book for PSM implementation Ccm be applied in any industry. The major difference you may encounter in applying PSM in other industries is that the availability of technical resources may vary. In implementing PSM where the required skills are not readily available, you will have to supplement these skills, either by using staff from other parts of your organization or by retaining outside consultants.
