Process Safety Management
Bhopal (’84): focused OSHA’s attention
Institute, WV(’85): shows disasters can
happen here
1988-1991: concern of public & Congress
increases with each event
Feb. 24, 1992: standard in Federal Register
![Page 8: Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals Nancy J Bethea](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d445503460f94a20c00/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
29 CFR 1910.119
OSHA’s Process Safety
Management Standard
![Page 9: Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals Nancy J Bethea](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649d445503460f94a20c00/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Anticipated Benefits
OSHA estimated that the integrated
approach of the PSM standard would reduce
the average annual number of deaths (265)
by 200 and reduce the average annual
number of serious injuries (900) by 700 in
industries involved with highly hazardous
chemicals.
