14 Elements of Process Safety Management

The OSHA PSM Standard

In 1992, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued the OSHA PSM Standard 29 CFR 1910.119 to prevent or minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals. This standard consists of technologies, procedures, and management practices that act as compliance guidance for process safety, collectively known as the 14 elements of PSM.

Bridging the Safety Gap

Despite best efforts, almost all safety management systems have gaps in practicality and effectiveness. Between 2010 and 2019, OSHA issued 23,837 citations to companies for violations of PSM Standard 29 CFR 1910.119, costing these facilities thousands of dollars in fines. Statistics like these reinforce the need for a strong, evergreen process safety program.
