Pre-Start Up Safety Review

How is a PSSR carried out?

As per OSHA 1910.119 a Pre-Start up Safety Review must be carried out “for new facilities and for modified facilities when the modification is significant enough to require a change in the process safety information”.
The steps in our PSSR study follows the following stages:

1. 1The consultancy starts with a sample review of the Process Safety information to check if it is current and whether all employees have access to the information. Thereafter a review of the Process Hazard analysis for completeness and adequacy is checked.
2. 2Checks are also conducted to confirm whether the SOPs have been adequately developed and implemented and whether system for safety, maintenance and emergency procedures have been developed / modified and implemented.
3. 3If new construction has been installed a review is conducted to confirm that the Construction and equipment are in accordance with the design specifications.
4. 4A review to confirm if the training has been completed for employees involved in operating & maintaining the process. Review if the training and drills (where necessary) have been completed for employees that are required to respond to emergencies.
