Process Safety is about…
- Keeping the hydrocarbons in the pipe
- Staying within the operating window
- Correctly preparing equipment for maintenance and restart
The Process Safety Fundamentals (PSF) are:
- Always use two barriers for hydrocarbon and chemical drains & vents
- Do not leave an open drain or critical transfer unattended
- Take interim mitigating measures in case of failure of Safety Critical Equipment
- For all defined high risk activities, follow the procedures and sign off after each step
- Walk the Line – Verify and validate any line-up change
- Do not make a change without a proper MOC
- Verify for completeness of tightness after maintenance work
- Always check that equipment is pressure free and drained, and provide safe isolation before starting maintenance work
- Perform MOC and install backflow protection when connecting utilities to process
- Respond to critical alarms in line with the variable table
