Process Safety Fundamentals are a collection of principles which aim to reduce and eliminate process safety events.
But what is process safety? Simply put, it’s about keeping hazardous chemicals in the pipe.
Created by IOGP (The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers), these Process Safety Fundamentals were designed to work alongside the Life Saving Rules which outline personal safety principles.
By recognising Process Safety Fundamentals, Step Change in Safety hopes to achieve the following:
🔺 Know the basic principles that can keep workers safe from Major Accidents
🔺 Understand that Process Safety Fundamentals can be used to raise concerns
🔺 Recognise when these principles are breached and what action to take.
