Beyond Compliance in Both Covered and Non-Covered Facilities

Facilities covered by OSHA PSM regulations may find that achieving compliance alone is not enough to manage all process risks and achieve excellent process safety performance. Similarly, facilities not covered by OSHA PSM may find that they need to adopt many of the management systems used by covered facilities in order to manage their process hazards and risks properly, while also driving operational efficiency. Additionally, many companies are faced with the challenge of attempting to harmonize OSHA PSM regulations and international regulations across global sites that use similar equipment, processes, and materials. This session seeks abstracts from both the covered and non-covered process perspectives on how process risks must be appropriately managed by moving in some cases beyond strict regulatory compliance and the benefits of doing so.
