operations involving hazardous materials. The elements of PSM focus on
Technology Facilities and Personnel. All sites must do their due diligence in

not regulatory requirements cover the site.
An essential part of process safety management is assessing processes and
making sure the people involved in those processes understand the
chemicals they are working with and the possible dangers. They need to
know how the process works what daily operations and maintenance look
like and how to respond when irregularities occur.
