Process Safety Management: a cog in a well oiled integrated management system

Process Safety Management (PSM), along with cultural safety, asset productivity, capital effectiveness and risk management are the core components of an integrated management system that yields operational excellence.

In this briefing Damian Bassett, PSM Practice Leader, Australia & New Zealand will discuss how PSM relates to each of the other components in the system. He will explore how an effective business strategy maintains the strength and wellbeing of each component through focus on the four dimensions of organisation, process, people and technology.
Particular focus will be given to:

• Reading the indicators: is your safety challenge one of PSM or behavioural safety?
• Management, leadership and commitment: the critical cultural forces behind Process Safety Management. How a 'safety culture' differs from a 'safety management system' in its support of PSM
• Minor changes and major implications: using the integrated management system to ensure a disciplined and comprehensive approach to managing change. A constant state of wariness anticipates the 'worse case scenario'
