Why use this?

OSHA’s Process Safety Management standard, 29 CFR 1910.119, defines the required management system for facilities handling highly hazardous chemicals. It addresses process-safety information, hazard analysis, operating procedures, training, mechanical integrity, management of change, incident investigation, emergency planning, and audits.

Process-safety engineers use it as the baseline compliance framework for HAZOP and other process-hazard analyses, safety-instrumented-system planning, mechanical-integrity programs, and management-of-change workflows. Even outside U.S. jurisdiction, it is a widely referenced structure for building a rigorous process-safety management system.
