Process Safety Incident Database (PSID)

PSID is an easily accessible, secure database that tracks process safety incidents among members with a focus on the lessons learned from the reports.

Project 276: Guidelines/Essentials of Safe Work Practices

The objective of Project 276 is to develop an integrated set of policies, procedures, permits, and other systems that are designed to manage risks associated with non-routine activities. Examples of these activities include performing hot work, opening process vessels or lines, and entering a confined space. To date, a Safe Work Practice (SWP) document has been developed for hot work authorization, line breaking/isolation, lockout/tagout (control of energy hazards), and confined space entry.

Project 289: Golden Rules of Process Safety for Specific Technologies

One of the most critical aspects of Process Safety is to know the hazards that one is dealing with, yet in too many incidents we realize that there was a knowledge gap in understanding the hazards. The goal of this project is to identify two to three technologies (e. g. FCC operations, Chlorine Chemistry, Nitration Chemistry, Peroxides, Combustible Dust, etc..) that have seen numerous incidents, have high hazards, and/or are highly utilized and Organize a team of process safety and process technology experts to develop a set of rules and tenants that serve the foundation for process safety...

Project 300: Book of Beacon

This book will have consolidated publication of the Beacons published since the inception with added information about each of them. This may include detailed explanation, lessons learned, similar incidents, what one can do if you are an engineer, manager or technical expert, applicable RBPS elements etc.

Project 303: Guidelines for Chemical Reactivity Evaluation & Application to Process Design 2nd Ed.

There are many new products and tools since the first edition was published in 1995. This includes predicting hazards using thermodynamic calculations, Chemical Reactivity Worksheet(CRW), CHETAH, CAMEO etc. new calorimetry screening methods are now available. New topics may include safe operating limit and storage condition assessments. Several case studies are now available and will be added. We are looking for R&D professionals, process development & reaction safety experts along with engineers & designers with chemical reactivity expertise.
