🚨 Proposed OSHA Emergency Response Rule: **Impact on Facilities with PSM Chemicals**🚨 OSHA's proposed emergency response rule brings significant changes for facilities managing Process Safety Management (PSM) chemicals. Here's how it impacts you: 🔍 Broader Scope of Coverage: The new standard expands beyond fire brigades to include a wider range of emergency responders such as technical search and rescue teams, EMS providers, and others, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all personnel involved with PSM chemicals. 📋 Risk Management and Planning: Emphasizes the development of written risk management plans and pre-incident planning inspections. This enhances alignment between PSM requirements and emergency response planning, ensuring robust and documented plans to handle emergencies effectively. 👷 Programmatic Elements: Introduces comprehensive elements aimed at protecting emergency responders from various occupational hazards, ensuring a holistic approach to emergency response safety. This is crucial for facilities dealing with hazardous PSM chemicals. **These changes are designed to integrate and align PSM requirements with emergency response protocols, enhancing safety and preparedness for handling hazardous chemicals.** For more details, visit OSHA's page on the proposed emergency response rule: https://lnkd.in/efunh3ga #OSHA #EmergencyResponse #PSM #SafetyStandards #RiskManagement #WorkplaceSafety

A dynamic risk assessment is a continuous safety practice that allows workers to quickly identify and analyze risks and hazards ‘on the spot’, remove them, and proceed with work safely. These assessments are performed by regularly observing and analyzing high-risk or changing work environments and making quick, yet considered decisions. The basic steps to follow during DRA include: ■ Evaluating the environment, situation, tasks, and persons at risk ■ Identifying the risk type, severity, and likelihood of an incident ■ Selecting a system of work: a strategy, tactic, or task ■ Assessing the system of work for safety ■ Considering if the risks are proportional to the benefits ■ Proceeding with work or delaying the work until additional safety measures can be introduced and a safe system of work is possible #safety #safetyfirst #safetyawareness #riskassessment #safetyprofessional #safetyqueenp #safetyalways

OHS Thought Mandatory requirements may be simply defined as compulsory, or required by law or mandate. While on the other hand best practices defined as a set of guidelines put in place to produce a positive outcome, and or promotes a positive safety culture in an organization set up. However, the main determinants to mandating or classifying best practice conditions is dependent on the actual organizational context , and existing conditions. For example, in my industry of practice, thermographic scanning of electrical distribution boards may be a best practices item as mostoperations management teams would emphasis but beyond the standard requirement conditions, if you in property management it is more mandatory to conduct such scans (business nature consideration) considering the need to be always above board when it comes to proactive risk prevention or mitagation.

DRA: Dynamic Risk Assessment. Regular and continuous.

Re: Amendments to the EPA Chemical Accident Prevention Rule (i.e., changes to EPA Risk Management Program or "RMP" requirements under 40 CFR § 68). The revisions [to EPA RMP regulations] include: (1) - Changes & amplifications to the accident prevention program requirements; (2) - Enhancements to the emergency preparedness requirements; (3) - Improvements to the public availability of chemical hazard information; & (4) - Several other changes to certain regulatory definitions or points of clarification.
