Process safety management is a mixture of engineering and management skills centred around preventing catastrophic accidents and near misses in process industries. Possible hazards it looks to prevent include structural collapse, explosions, fires and the release of toxic or dangerous substances such as chemical or petroleum products.
Process safety management is important for a number of reasons. It goes without saying that the consequences of neglecting health and safety when handling dangerous substances can have extremely destructive consequences.
Look no further than the 2020 Beirut explosion, which causes 218 people to lose their lives, a further 7,000 injuries and $15 billion worth of property damage. In this case, ammonium nitrate had been confiscated from a cargo ship in 2013 and was stored in a poorly maintained facility, with little oversight or proper safety measures in place.
