Instructional Learning Objectives
After completing this chapter, students should be

able to do the following:
• Appreciate importance of standards & regulations
• Identify and understand basic of relevant process
safety standards &regulations:
– Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994
– CIMAH Regulations 1996
– Other International Safety Legislations: OSHA PSM (US),
EPA RMP (US), SEVESO DIRECTIVES
• Relate the standards and regulations’
requirements with the application of process
safety fundamental to prevent losses
Open Topic 2: Profess-Safety Related Standards & regulations 2

Most major incidents had occurred and
will be occurring because of
MANAGERIAL and ORGANISATIONAL
short comings
To overcome this problem, a more

SYSTEMATIC and STRUCTURED
approach is needed for an effective way
to MANAGE SAFETY in Business.

System for Managing Safety?
Set of CONTROLS which are used to MANAGE

proactively all types of HAZARDS & RISKS, and the
CONSEQUENCES, associated with the running of
BUSINESS activities and functions;
It is also to provide ASSURANCE to all STAKE

HOLDERS that the risks in the business are being
managed to a comfortable level, that is “AS LOW AS
REASONABLY PRACTICABLE” (ALARP).

System for Managing Safety is for…
Achieving Safety Excellence
How best you can identify and assess elements of

your current management practices – in term of
knowing their strengths and their weaknesses, and
to be able to establish the “gaps”, from which you
can see ways how best to improve your respective
workplace safety performance.
BUT HOW TO MAKE/ENSURE THAT

hazardous substance less than threshold quantity, if the
authority feels that installation may cause a major
accident.
Ø is not a major hazard installation even though equal or
exceed threshold quantity, if the authority feels that
installation is incapable of causing a major accident.
Any change of the status of installation shall be notified to the
authority.

MANAGEMENT STANDARDS

OSHA Process Safety Management Standard
§ Performance-based standard with 14 program

PSM is a performance (not specification) standard prevent or
minimize the consequences of catastrophic releases of chemicals
that are:
• Toxic
• Reactive
• Flammable
• Explosive
PSM is the proactive identification, evaluation and mitigation or

prevention of chemical releases that could occur as a result of
failures in processes, procedures, or equipment.
§ Purpose: prevent, mitigate catastrophic releases

§ Emphasis on management systems:
“…a holistic approach that integrates technologies, procedures,
and management practices”

OSHA PSM Application
Highly Hazardous Chemical processing where
• Toxic or reactive chemical(s) are present in processes at or above
a listed threshold quantity (Appendix A Material – example as
shown below)
• Flammable liquids or gases are present in processes in quantities
10,000 pounds and above
• Explosives or pyrotechnics are manufactured

Compliance is required if you…..

Summary:
ü Process safety regulations are an integral part of maintaining the safety of
workers, the public, and the environment
ü There are primarily two approaches of the safety regulatory regime:
ü prescriptive-based
ü performance-based
ü There are both advantages and disadvantages in both the regulatory
regimes
ü Important safety regulation in Malaysia: OSH Act 1994, CIMAH Regulation
1996
ü Important safety regulation in other countries: CFR1910.119 Process Safety
Mgmt. Standard (US) / Seveso-III-Directive (2012/18/EU)(Europe)
