Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals is a regulation promulgated by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). [1] It defines and regulates a process safety management (PSM) program for plants using, storing, manufacturing, handling or carrying out on-site movement of hazardous materials above defined amount thresholds.
Process safety management (PSM) is a practice to manage business operations critical to process safety. It can be implemented using the established OSHA scheme [ 1 ] or others made available by the EPA , [ 2 ] AIChE 's Center for Chemical Process Safety , [ 3 ] or the Energy Institute .
It also maintains List I of chemicals and List II of chemicals, which contain chemicals that are used to manufacture the controlled substances/illicit drugs. The list is designated within the Controlled Substances Act [ 1 ] but can be modified by the U.S. Attorney General as illegal manufacturing practices change.
PSM was notably regulated by the United States' OSHA in 1992. [19] The OSHA model for PSM is still widely used, not only in the US but also internationally. Other equivalent models and regulations have become available since, notably by the EPA, [20] the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), [21] and the UK's Energy Institute. [22]
Chemicals are regulated for: environmental protection (chemical waste, and chemical pollution of water, air, subterrestrial,and terrestrial environments such as of pesticides) human health (such as in cosmetics and foods) and drugs (recreational and pharmaceuticals) chemical weapons prohibition (such as for the Chemical Weapons Convention)
