Process Safety Assessment
OVERVIEW: The Process Safety Assessment module screens potential chemical substitutes to determine if they could potentially pose a safety hazard in the workplace. Process operating characteristics and workplace practices are combined with physical hazard data, precautions for safe handling and use, and other data to determine if implementing a chemical substitute might pose a safety hazard. Safe operating procedures for alternative technologies (equipment) are also considered.
GOALS:
# Obtain information on chemical hazards (reactivity, corrosivity, etc.), proper handling and storage precautions, and proper use guidelines for each chemical formulation or technology being evaluated.
# Compare physical hazard data to process operating conditions and workplace practices to determine if any of the chemical substitutes might pose a safety hazard in the workplace.
# Determine what special actions, if any, need to be taken when using substitute chemicals, formulations, or processes.
# Guide the selection and use of chemicals or processes that are less hazardous in the workplace.
PEOPLE SKILLS: The following lists the types of skills or knowledge that are needed to complete this module.
# Knowledge of chemicals used and/or produced by the process as well as knowledge and understanding of the technologies and equipment used for the process.
# Knowledge of the workplace practices and operating procedures for the given process.
# Knowledge of process safety analysis, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, and guidelines pertaining to hazardous chemicals and industrial safety.
Within a business or a DFE project team, the people who might supply these skills include a process engineer, safety engineer, safety specialist, or an industrial hygienist.
DEFINITION OF TERMS: The Process Safety Assessment module focuses on physical hazards such as flammability and explosivity rather than health hazards from toxic chemical exposure. Health hazards are characterized in other parts of the CTSA.
