  1. Process Safety Management Refresher Training

  2. Purpose of refresher training • Reminds employees of correct operations • Informs employees of changes to processes • Covers new information regarding changed policies and procedures 1a

  3. When refresher training is required • A highly hazardous chemical (HHC) is introduced into a process • New equipmentis installed 2a

  4. When refresher training is required • Changes in parameters of a process occur • New proceduresare introduced 2b

  5. When refresher training is required • Provided at least every three years • More often if necessary • Ensures that each employee understands and adheres to current operating procedures 2c

  6. Primary purpose of PSM • Continually attempt to reduce HHCs below threshold quantities • Use alternate chemicals if the chemical cannot be reduced • Monitor processes to ensure they are in compliance 3a

  7. Definitions • Highly hazardous chemicals are potentially: • Toxic • Reactive • Flammable • Explosive 4a

  8. Definitions • Process - any activity involving a HHC, including: • Use • Storage • Manufacturing • Handling • On-site movement • Any combination of these 4b

  9. Definitions • Process safety - safe operation of facilities that handle hazardous materials • Process safety management - application of management principles and standards to identify, understand, and control process hazards 4c

  10. Elements of the PSM standard • Employee participation • Process safety information • Process hazard analysis • Operating procedures 5a

  11. Elements of the PSM standard • Employee training • Contractors • Pre-startup safety review • Mechanical integrity of equipment 5b

  12. Elements of the PSM standard • Hot work permits • Management of change • Incident investigations 5c

  13. Elements of the PSM standard • Emergency planning and response • Compliance audits • Trade secrets and documentation 5d

  14. Safety and health considerations • Includes anything likely to cause acute or chronic health problems; or • Could result in process-related injuries & accidents 6a

  15. Operating limits • Operating limits-related issues include: • Voltage limits of equipment • Amperage limits of equipment • Phase limits of equipment 7a

  16. Operating limits • Process chemical limits-related issues include: • Can the equipment handle the properties of the chemical? • Does the process maintain the chemical’s proper physical properties? 7b

  17. Operating limits • Process chemical limits-related issues include: • Does the process cause the chemical to break down? • Does the process cause the chemical to boil or freeze? 7c
