Chemicals

In response to major incidents in the past such as Flixborough or Bhopal, chemical facilities have changed significantly. However, many plants are still afflicted by an antiquated infrastructure. In order to prevent catastrophic events, companies use Process Safety Management to achieve safe operation first by defining the safe operating parameters, and then by ensuring that operations remain within the parameters.

 

It is important that companies treat compliance with process safety regulations not as a set of tasks, rather as the foundation to building a safety culture.  Companies must build safety and health considerations into their facilities, whether existing, acquired or new constructions, and ensure that all personnel, including subcontractors, adhere to these standards. In addition, as the threat of attacks on chemical facilities grows, chemical companies must recognize the need to carefully look at security and vulnerability concerns at their facilities that contain either hazardous material, or material that can be used to create a weapon or a catastrophic event.
