Process safety information hazards

Process Safety Information Hazards of the Chemicals Used in the Process... 

Examining the lists above makes it clear that a good toller-client relationship with open and honest communication of process safety information, process hazard analysis input and early recognition of issues can help avoid potential problems. 

With the PHA methodology selected, the team assembled and the process safety information gathered, the analysis of chemical and process hazards, and the consequences and deviations associated with those hazards are identified. 

Process Safety Information Physical, chemical, and toxicological information related to the chemicals, process, and equipment. It is used to document the configuration of a process, its characteristics, its limitations, and as data for process hazard analyses. 

The written process safety information shall be prepared by the employer before conducting process hazard analysis. It shall include information on hazards of the hazardous chemicafs used or produced by the process, information pertaining to the technology of the process, and information pertaining to the equipment in the process.

Process safety information is compiled and made available to ah employees to facilitate the understanding and identification of hazards. This information includes block flow diagrams or process flow diagrams, process chemistry, and process limitations, such as temperatures, pressures, flows, and compositions. Consequences of process deviations are also required. This...

Risk assessment studies can be performed using whatever process information is available (CCPS 1992a). Obviously, the more information and knowledge that is available, the more thorough and valuable the risk study can be. For facilities that must meet regulatory requirements for process hazard analyses, certain process safety information (PSI) is required to be compiled and up to date before starting the analysis. 

In addition, Process Safety Information (PSI) is an explicit element of PSM and RMP programs, requiring chemical hazard, technical, and pro-... 

The Paterson facility was not aware of the decomposition reaction. The Process Safety Information (PSI) package, which was used at the Paterson plant to design the Yellow 96 production process in 1990, served as the basis for a Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) conducted in 1995. The PSI noted the desired exothermic reaction but did not include information on the decomposition reaction. 

Integration of reactive hazard information into process safety information, operating procedures, training, and communication practices. 

In the compilation of process safety information, require that multiple sources of information be sufficiently consulted to understand and control potential reactive hazards. Useful sources include ... 

Process Safety Information and Process Hazard Analysis.55... 

As supported by the CSB incident data, two elements are particularly relevant to reactive hazards-Process Safety Information (PSI 29 CFR 1910.119 [d]) and Process Hazard Analysis (PHA 29 CFR 1910.119... 

RMP requires covered processes to have a hazard assessment, a prevention program, and an emergency response program. The hazard assessment must evaluate the accidental release of regulated substances, including the worst case scenario. RMP contains requirements for prevention of accidental releases, which include the same basic elements as the OSHA PSM Standard. Therefore, the limitations described in Section 5.1.2.2 with respect to process safety information and process hazard analysis also apply to RMP. 

On the other hand, there are a number of elements of fire prevention that overlap with elements of other programs. For example. Incident Investigation, Management of Change (MOC), Process Safety Information (PSI), and Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) input required for fire prevention can be derived from these same elements of the Process Safety Management (PSM) program.
