New Leading and Lagging Indicators of Process Safety Performance
Download the Process Safety Incident Evaluation Tool (v 3.02)
To continuously improve upon process safety performance, it is essential that companies in the chemical and petroleum industries implement effective leaading and lagging process safety metrics.CCPS has filled this need through a diverse, international effort leading to the publication of recommended process safety metrics. CCPS specially recommends that all companies and trade Associations collect and report the three lagging metrics: Process Safety Incidents(PSI), Process Safety Incident Rate (PSR),and Process Safety Severity Rate(PSSR). ABIQUIM(the trade organization of Brazil). the Canadian Chemical Producers' Assocation, and the American Chemistry Council have all endorsed the use of the CCPS metrics,along with companies on 6 continents. Other organizations are using many elements of the CCPS metrics.
