In the high-stakes landscape of industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and power generation, the distinction between operational efficiency and catastrophic failure hinges on one critical discipline: Process Safety Management (PSM). While occupational safety focuses on preventing personal injuries, process safety is the engineered system of defenses that prevents catastrophic events involving the release of energy, hazardous chemicals, or materials. The consequences of failure are not just statistical; they are front-page news, resulting in profound loss of life, environmental devastation, and the irreversible collapse of corporate reputation.
