Process Safety Management (PSM) Services

OVERVIEW
Protecting plant operations from unexpected
releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive
liquids and gases is critical to ensuring safe
and healthy workplaces across the U.S. As
mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration’s Process Safety Management
(PSM) standard 29 CFR 1910.119 is designed to
effectively integrate safe principles, procedures,
and management practices to minimize the risk for
catastrophic events in the workplace.
ENTRUST Solutions Group offers a team of PSM
subject matter experts (SME) and consultants
who are dedicated to the improvement of client
plants and facilities, such as refineries, chemical
manufacturing operations, and other mandated
or non-mandated processes in operating safely,
responsibly, and efficiently.
ENTRUST’s PSM team has many years of
experience, working in highly regulated industries
and understanding the desired culture and
environment to implement a successful, feasible,
and effective PSM program.
ENTRUST PSM SMEs and consultants work
side-by-side with client representatives as coteam members in the client’s organization.
This synergy ensures the necessary culture,
attitude, and commitment of all who engage in
the implementation and development of these
essential PSM services.
