Unfortunately, according to Industrial Safety and Hygiene News Process Safety Management Report Card, the written operating procedure requirement is the element of the OSHA PSM Rule for which most citations are written. "Many facihties don t document the procedure or they make changes and don t gp through and document them formally in writing." ... 

You have likely heard of NFPA 70E but may not have heard of NESC. NESC is the National Electric Safety Code (Canadian equivalent CAN/UL S801). This is an ANSI/IEEE standard for utility wiring. It governs most utility properties and can affect nonutility systems, especially transmission and distribution systems commonly found in large industrial plants. OSHA 1910.269 and NESC cover the same basic equipment, and OSHA used NESC in some of...

The history of safety may be traced back to ancient times, but in the modem context its serious beginnings appear to be in 1868, when a patent was awarded for the first barrier safeguard [1]. In 1877 the Massachusetts legislature passed a law requiring appropriate safeguards on hazardous machinery [1,2]. In 1931 H. W. Heinrich published a book on industrial safety entitled Industrial Accident Prevention [3], and in 1970 the United States Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) [1,2,4]. 

It cannot be overemphasized that the principal elements of a sound industrial safety program, with its primary purpose of OSHA compliance, work hazard reduction, assurance of employee/job safety and health, and the evaluation of jobs or tasks (through the ISA or another comparable method), can, in most cases, be achieved through application of the system safety process. The connection between the two programs, while not entirely obvious, is quite understandable, as described above. Perhaps the most important thing to remember here is that the industrial or occupational safety and health professional can utilize the time-proven techniques of hazard reduction and system safety analysis to accomplish the desired goal of both programs ...
