Process Safety Management: Thinking in Outcomes

Overview

Establishing clear and shared delivery statements for each key aspect of process safety management helps to focus attention on what the system is intended to achieve in terms of risk management.

Currently, most organisations simply describe and document the process and requirements within systems such as Management of Change or Permit to Work without first considering the purpose of these controls. Few non-safety professionals when asked, can coherently explain what such systems are for, what they deliver and which aspects are key to ensuring safety.

Thinking about outcomes helps get everyone on the same page on why each component of a process safety management system is needed and also helps to quickly measure the effectiveness of key components of a process safety management system – ‘does it do what it says on the tin’? Early detection of system failure helps to fix things before they lead to catastrophe.
