Process Safety Management (PSM) is one of the foundations of Responsible Care. The major objective of process safety management of highly hazardous chemicals is to prevent fires, explosions and unwanted releases of such chemicals, specifically where it could expose employees and the public to serious hazards. The Responsible Care Process Safety Workshops have the primary objective of promoting effective process safety management programmes within chemical companies.

Process Safety Workshop
CAIA to present the Responsible Care Process Safety Management Workshop – A Sound Process Safety Management System has Benefits.
The Chemical and Allied Industries’ Association (CAIA) will present the Responsible Care Process Safety Management (PSM) Workshop which will take place at The Sunnyside Hotel Johannesburg on 13 March 2014 at 08h00 and at Sica’s Guesthouse Durban on 14 March 2014 at 08h00. Featured speakers include Francois Holtzhausen from Sasol and process safety experts, Rod Prior and Dr Mike Rose, amongst others. The workshop has the objective of promoting effective Process Safety Management programmes within chemical companies.
The workshop will address process safety best practices, learnings from process safety incidents as well as ways in which a company’s PSM systems can be enhanced. The importance of assessing the risk associated with changes to a plant and how such changes can be managed in a systematic way will be discussed, and useful tips will be imparted on how to maximize the effects of a company’s Management of Change (MOC) process.
A practical approach to process safety critical controls and important criteria that can be used to identify process safety critical equipment will also be focussed on. A process safety tool that can be used for off-site consequence analysis, and that provides simple methods and reference tables for determining distance to endpoint for worse-case and alternative release scenarios, will be shared.
The workshop will end with an interactive session on the learnings from a significant process safety incident.
PSM is one of the core focus elements of the Responsible Care Initiative. Responsible Care, a unique initiative of the global chemical industry, is designed to have a measurable impact on company’s safety, health and environmental (SHE) performance. The programme will assist companies to reduce risks and to manage the safety, health and environmental (SHE) implications of their processes effectively.
