#processsafety #fundamentals Process safety is a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes that handle hazardous substances. The goal of process safety and asset integrity is to prevent unplanned releases which could result in a major incident. Designed to support those working in front-line operations, maintenance, and on wells teams, the IOGP Process Safety Fundamentals are informed by data and designed to draw attention to situations that are most likely to lead to process safety event fatalities. They are therefore not intended to exhaustively address all process safety risks and hazards in the oil and gas industry, but to be deployed in addition to a company’s underlying systems for process safety management. It is intended that adoption of PSFs: • Provides a focus for process safety at the front-line • Enables process safety concerns to be raised and addressed • Is a step towards industry-wide common language for process safety • Helps companies to eliminate high severity process safety events This document introduces the Process Safety Fundamentals, the supporting data analysis, and provides implementation guidance. Is your company using the PSFs? Courtesy of IOGP

On the heels of the 4th cycle of Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS) audits early this year, BSEE SEMS Chief Stan Kaczmarek continued the facilitation of building a safety culture industry wide as a panelist at OTC24 May 9. Titled, What Are SEMS Audits Telling Us? Kaczmarek provided the regulatory perspective on positive trends uncovered in the audits as well as areas where concerns persist. BSEE’s regulatory approach is to lead the offshore oil and gas industry beyond a checklist-inspection approach toward a systemic, comprehensive approach to safety improvement. SEMS is a performance-based approach to integrating and managing offshore operations. The purpose of a SEMS is to enhance the safety and environmental performance of operations by reducing the frequency and severity of incidents. Learn more: https://ow.ly/eqXG50RANHV

In early 2023, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) proposed new requirements for natural gas distribution lines in response to the 2018 Merrimack Valley Incident. Once approved, natural gas operators must update their distribution integrity management programs (DIMP), emergency response plans, operations and maintenance manuals, and implement additional preventative safety practices.
