Process Safety Management (PSM) came about in 1992 when OSHA issued Process Safety
Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals standard (29 CFR 1910.119). This standard
contains requirements for the management of hazards associated with processes using highly hazardous chemicals.

The purpose of this workshop is to go back in time and understand where PSM came from; specifically focused on historical incidents over time which shaped PSM. For example, Flixborough U.K. explosion (1974); Seveso, Italy (1976); Bhopal India (1984); Mexico City (1984); and Phillips Pasadena. We breakdown and summarize each incident, contributing factors, and lessons learned.
