Implementing PSM

A process safety management system is how a plant keeps its hazards under control every day, not just on the day of the HAZOP. Cerasus designs and embeds PSM systems that fit your organisation's size, culture and regulatory context.

What it means

Implementing PSM, explained.

PSM is a management framework of interlocking elements — process safety information, hazard analysis, operating procedures, training, contractors, pre-start-up review, mechanical integrity, hot work, management of change, incident investigation, emergency planning, audits and employee participation — with leadership and culture around them.

Implementation means writing what is missing, wiring the elements together (MOC feeds PSI, PHA feeds training), setting KPIs and coaching the people who run it until it is self-sustaining.
