in PDO identifies 20 elements from the Centre for Chemical Process Safety Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety (CCPS RB

Element Aims and Objectives

To establish and reinforce high standards of process safety performance

through the organisational norms for employee and contractor values and
behaviours at all levels in the organisation.
To ensure that the facility conforms to the applicable standards, codes and
regulations so that the facility operates in a safe and legal fashion.

A key aspect of demonstrating commitment to process safety, the process

safety competency element is about developing, sustaining and enhancing
organisational competency. This is different to individual competency
assurance (which is covered in element 12). The key concern here is the
concept of the ‘learning’ or ‘transformational’ organisation

Personnel at all levels of the organisation should have roles, responsibilities

and opportunities to effectively contribute to process safety programmes. This
element ensures that a system is developed for enabling the participation of
operators, technicians and contractors in the development and implementation
of process safety activities through employee participation

To ensure that internal and external stakeholders to the organisation are

identified, and that their information needs are understood and adequately
met.

To enable risk assessment and risk-based process safety. Understanding

process risk depends on having accurate process knowledge, and without an
understanding of process risk, process safety can never be assured.

To enable risk assessment and risk-based process safety. Understanding

process risk depends on correctly and completely identifying the hazards
associated with the operation, and accurately assessing the risks posed by
those hazards. Without an understanding of process risk, process safety can
never be assured.

A consistent high level of human performance is essential for a successful

process safety programme. Up to date clear operating procedures assure that
the intended and proven methods and techniques are applied consistently.

To ensure that the risks associated with non-routine work are managed in a
systematic way through the application of a permit-to-work system and
operations / maintenance procedures (which are described in the previous
element)
 To ensure that equipment is properly designed, fabricated, installed and
maintained in accordance with recognised standards and codes, and that it
fulfils its design intent and remains fit for purpose until removed from
operation

To ensure that contracted services do not add to or increase process safety risk
by ensuring familiarity with process safety risks and a formalised process to
manage contractor activities from a process safety (as well as commercial)
point-of-view.

A consistent high level of human performance is essential for a successful

process safety programme. Training and performance assurance provides
confidence and demonstration that work tasks will be consistently completed
to the required standard, and that personnel have the knowledge and ability to
respond appropriately to non-routine situations.

To ensure that changes made to plant equipment or technology, or to the

Organisation operating the equipment, do not result in the inadvertent
introduction of new hazards and risks, or unknowingly increase the risk from
existing hazards.

To ensure that equipment is safe to start-up and operate, and that the activities
necessary to ensure continued fitness for service have been put in place. It
covers start up of new equipment, modified equipment and existing equipment
re-starting after a plant shutdown
To create an organisation that demonstrates excellence in the performance of
every task, and has zero tolerance for deviations.
To reduce the consequences of a major accident and to save lives, protect
property and the environment.
To learn from incidents and near misses and to prevent them from recurring.
Identifying and correcting systemic incident causes will not only help prevent
a repeat of that incident but by strengthening the AI-PSM management system
can prevent other incidents.

To provide a means for near-real-time monitoring of the performance of the

AI-PSM system, and so indicate whether process risk is being managed as low
as reasonably practicable and in line with company criteria for tolerable risk.

To reduce risk by systematically and pro-actively identifying strengths and

weaknesses in the implementation of AI-PSM.

To ensure that the defined AI-PSM activities produce the desired results
throughout the facility lifecycle.
Process Safety (CCPS RBPS) which describes minimum expected standards and stipulates the requirements for a range of proce
ements for a range of process related activities ranging from organisational culture, workforce involvement, risk management, H
vement, risk management, HEMP and audit through to design.
