OSHA PSM Standard

The OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) Standard is a set of regulations designed to prevent and control the risks of dangerous chemical hazards in workplaces, especially those involving large quantities of toxic, reactive, or flammable substances. It requires employers to identify hazards, implement safety procedures, maintain equipment, train employees, and prepare for emergencies. The goal is to minimize the chance of accidents, injuries, or releases of hazardous materials, ensuring a safer environment for workers and surrounding communities.
