June 26, 2012 (Houston, Texas)
Overview
This workshop is intended for anyone involved in the evaluation of facility
siting requirements to comply with OSHA PSM requirements. We will focus on the
new requirements of the API Recommend Practice 752 Third Edition, Management of
Hazards Associated with Location of Permanent Process Plant Buildings, which
was revised to address specific OSHA concerns during the refinery NEP
inspections. Since all of the new requirements are retroactive, if you have not
completed your facility siting analysis or have completed an analysis according
to a prior edition of API 752, you need to be aware of the changes that could
have a significant impact on the results. Also, many of the tables and examples
used in previous editions of API 752 have been removed and now require special
expertise and tools to implement the siting analysis. This workshop will
demonstrate the approach needed to meet the current requirements.
