QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Definition of Process Safety Management - CORRECT
ANSWER-A blend of engineering and management skills
focused on preventing catastrophic accidents and near misses,
particularly structural collapse, explosions, fires and toxic
releases associated with loss of containment of energy or
dangerous substances such as chemicals and petroleum
products.
Sources of Process Safety Management information: -
CORRECT ANSWER-Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Process design criteria.
Process Flow Diagrams (PFD)
Standard Operating procedures (SOPs) setting safe limits, such
as for temperatures, pressures, flows, compositions and levels
as well as evaluation of the effects.
Inspection, audit and investigation reports.
Maintenance records.
Piping and Instrument Diagrams (P&Ids).
Process Control Systems, including software integrity.
Relief system designs.
Fire detection and protection plans.
Management Of Change - MOC - CORRECT ANSWER-MOC
is a management control approach to make sure that proposed
changes are properly assessed and authorized.
Management Of Change - MOC - Requirements: - CORRECT
ANSWER-Hazard and Risk Analysis.
Process for all changes to be authorized.
Changes documented.
, Consult and inform.
Training.
Workers Consultation - CORRECT ANSWER-The two-way
exchange of information between parties. In this case, between
employer and worker.
Definition of Competence - CORRECT ANSWER-A
combination of practical and thinking skills, experience and
knowledge.
Elements of a Process Safety Management System -
CORRECT ANSWER-Element 1: Strong Leadership.
Element 2: Hazard Analysis.
Element 3: Management Of Change.
Element 4: Operation within design intent.
Element 5: Competence management. (Training).
Element 6: Control of Contractors.
Element 7: Asset Integrity.
Element 8: Emergency Response.
Element 9: Process Safety Incident Investigations.
Element 10: Performance Monitoting and Auditing.
Leading Indicators - CORRECT ANSWER-Proactive
measurements of conditions that monitor process safety before
something goes wrong and to see if things are operating as
intended.
Lagging Indicators - CORRECT ANSWER-Reactive measures
that took at failures, such as the number of injuries, the number
of near misses and the number of spills that are reported, or
excursions where plant is operated outside the intended
operational envelope.
Five Steps for Risk Assessment - CORRECT ANSWER-Step 1:
Identify the hazards.
Step 2: Identify the people who might be harmed and how.
