December 2024 - Learn about six hidden pitfalls that undermine workplace safety culture and learn actionable strategies to foster a more resilient and safety-conscious environment. This article explores the following topics and more:
Applicability of Process Safety Management (PSM) and Risk Management Program (RMP) Regulations: Many facilities neglect to assess whether these regulations apply to their operations, leading to unstructured safety processes.
Mechanical Integrity: While fixed equipment like vessels and piping are usually well-managed, issues frequently arise with rotating equipment and control systems due to inadequate monitoring and maintenance.
Management of Change (MOC): Organizations often fail to implement robust MOC procedures, resulting in unassessed risks when changes occur in processes or equipment.
Operating Procedures: Outdated or poorly documented operating procedures can lead to unsafe practices and increased risk of incidents.
Training and Competency: Insufficient training programs contribute to a workforce that is ill-prepared to handle safety challenges effectively.
Incident Investigation: A lack of thorough incident investigations prevents organizations from learning from past mistakes and implementing corrective actions.
