Process Safety Management (PSM)

Process Safety Management (PSM) is a systematic approach to identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards associated with industrial processes that involve potentially dangerous substances. Its goal is to prevent accidents, such as explosions or toxic releases, by implementing procedures, safety measures, and training. PSM ensures organizations maintain safe operations through careful planning, equipment maintenance, employee education, and emergency preparedness. This structured approach helps protect workers, the environment, and nearby communities from the risks posed by handling hazardous materials.
