Introduction

Process Safety Management (PSM) has been continually evolving since it was promulgated as a regulation in the United States in the early 1990s.

Initially, it was based upon a model that included 14 elements, all focused on reducing the potential for hazardous incidents. Since then, numerous regulatory updates have been made to PSM and it has evolved into Risk-Based Process Safety (RBPS), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) Vision 20/20 program.

OS produced this market research survey focused on benchmarking an organization’s existing PSM / RMP maturity.
