Process Safety Management Consulting Services
Fostering Safety and Excellence in Oil, Gas, and Chemical Plants in South Central United States
An effective Process Safety Management (PSM) program has impacts well beyond safety. This systematic approach to safe practices in the workplace is imperative in business continuity, loss control, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection.
Altamira’s process safety consultants are a well-established team that can audit, develop, implement, and maintain your process safety program at all stages of operation. Our consultants use a risk-informed approach, combined with deep knowledge of the underlying codes and standards and practical engineering expertise, to develop programs tailored to your business needs, whether your facility is subject to PSM compliance or not.
What Is Process Safety Management?
As part of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation 29 CFR 1910.119, the Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals program was developed to manage the dangers and risks associated with highly hazardous processes in industries like oil and gas and chemicals.
The section outlines proactive measures that enhance operational safety, prevent accidents, protect assets, and promote a culture of safety and improvement. Safety management consulting companies like Altamira provide value-based services that keep organizations compliant with PSM requirements, such as process hazard analysis, management of change, mechanical integrity, and emergency planning.
