Project 233: Key Performance Indicators for Risk Based Process Safety
CCPS is developing recommendations for leading indicators which can serve as key performance indicators for each of the 20 Risk Based Process Safety Elements.
CCPS Project Subcommittees
Project 225: Process Safety Management for Front Line Supervisors
While “Top-down” emphasis of PSM & other safety programs is necessary, the daily “enforcement” is at the worker and supervisor levels. This project will increase the understanding and buy-in for PSM at the first-line supervisory level through better understanding of PSM, its benefits and the interactions of the various elements.
Project 244: Process Safety-Vision 2020
The committee will ask and answer a series of questions which include:What will Great Process Safety look like in the year 2020?; Why is that important?; What changes will affect it?;Can it be articulated so that member companies can know it when they see it?;What can CCPS do to go from a vision of what this will be to a reality? The product is envisioned to be a white paper which will outline answers to the above questions and to provide suggestions on what companies to do to achieve that visions.
Project 224: Hazard Identification for Operators and Maintenance A CCPS Training DVD
While “Top-down” emphasis of PSM & other safety programs is necessary, the daily “enforcement” is at the worker and supervisor levels. This project will increase the understanding and buy-in for PSM at the first-line supervisory level through better understanding of PSM, its benefits and the interactions of the various elements.
Project 229: Conditional Modifier and Enabling Events
A short publication providing information and considerations on developing and using conditional modifiers and enabling conditions. This will be a companion book to the LOPA Book.
Project 196: Independent Protection Layers and Initiating Events
The publication will provide process automation engineers, process engineers, facility operators, and safety professionals with the appropriate treatment and requirements applicable to equipment design, administrative procedures, or other “credits” that are treated as an independent protection layer and initiating event from a Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) perspective.
Project 212: Guidelines for Likelihood of Ignition
Define a set of approaches for calculating the likelihood of ignition for selected categories of scenarios, and publish a Guidelines or Concept series book of instructions and tools (including a CD of calculation methodologies and structure for input data) to do so. Ideally, three categories of resources needed and matching precision of calculations will be developed (e.g. low, medium, and high degree of precision and accompanying required effort).
Project 211: Executive Process Safety Seminars
Seminar targeted at improving awareness of process safety amongst industry executives while educating them on their role. Companion project to 2008 project targeted at Culture.
Project 191: Guidelines for Pressure Relief & Effluent Handling 2nd Edition
Update this book in order to update content, correct errata, improve readability, and, if possible to correct software compatibility issues with current and future MS Windows versions
Project 227: Guidelines for Organization Change Management for Process Safety
Many companies continue to struggle with effective implementation of Management of Organizational Change. This project will address these issues and help companies bring their MOC systems to the same degree of maturity as other process safety management systems.
