Process Safety Information (PSI)
- Provide hazardous chemicals information (i.e., SDS information):
- Toxicity
- Thermal and chemical
- Exposure limits
- Reactivity and stability data
- Incompatible materials
- Physical data
- Corrosivity data.
- Provide process technology information:
- Process flow diagram
- Applicable process chemistry
- Maximum intended inventory
- Safe operating parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure, flow, etc.)
- Incompatible materials
- Evaluation of consequences of deviations.
- Provide process equipment information:
- Materials of construction
- P&IDs
- Relief system design & design basis
- Ventilation system design
- Design codes and standards employed
- Material & energy balances (processes built after May 26, 1992)
- Safety systems (e.g., interlocks, etc.)
- Documentation of equipment compliance with acceptable engineering practices
- Documentation for unused equipment maintenance, testing, operation, etc.
SMS Will:
- Assist in development and compilation of highly hazardous materials information.
- Conduct explosives characterization testing.
- Review/evaluate process technology and equipment information for completeness as applicable to process hazards analysis.
- Provide follow-on consulting services for changed or modified processes/equipment.
- Work with existing databases to assist client in maintaining process safety information.
- Review, organize, and publish process safety and SDS information.
- Establish policies and procedures for the storage and retrieval of all applicable information.
Client Will:
- Be responsible for maintenance of hazardous materials information, process technology information, or process equipment information.
- Perform hazardous chemical testing – SMS can subcontract for this effort if necessary (e.g. toxicity, corrosivity, reactivity, sensitivity, etc.).
- Write SDS for customers.
- Commit to handle any material that could be called hazardous waste.
