Process safety management
(PSM) is widely credited for reductions
in major accident risk and in improved
chemical industry performance. To promote
PSM excellence and continuous improvement
throughout the process industries, the
Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS)
created risk-based process safety (RBPS)
as the framework for the next generation
of process safety management.
If your company is challenged
by inadequate management system performance,
resource pressures, or stagnant process
safety results, this overview will show
you how to use the RBPS Guidelines to
(1) design a new PSM system, (2) correct
a deficient PSM system, or (3) improve
PSM practices.

You will hear how to
improve process safety performance and
efficiency by basing your process safety
activities upon risk, demand for resources,
and safety culture. This overview will
focus on the new elements and activities
of the 20-element RBPS system.
This new framework for
process safety builds upon the original
ideas published by the CCPS in the early
1990s; integrates industry lessons learned
over the intervening years; applies the
management system principles of plan,
do, check, act; and organizes them in
a way that will be useful to all organizations
– even those with relatively lower
hazard activities – throughout the
life cycle of a process or operation.
