Components of OSHA - PSM Compliance Audit Element

Audit is a feedback mechanism that provides management with the status and measurement of effectiveness of the various efforts and leads to the appropriate control over these efforts A site audit program consists of

- separating the PSM program into its component parts - auditing each part to determine actual versus intended effectiveness - formulating corrective action to improve performance - reporting / documenting findings - follow up controls

In addition to PSM improvement often audits point to improvements in operations, maintenance, and engineering aspects Compliance Audit: Evaluation of compliance with the provisions of law

What is Process Safety Management Audit

29 CFR 1910.119, OSHA Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals (o) Compliance Audits

(1) Employers shall certify that they have evaluated compliance with the provisions of this section at least every three years to verify that the procedures and practices developed under the standard are adequate and are being followed

(2) The compliance audit shall be conducted by at least one person knowledgeable in the process

(3) A report of the findings of the audit shall be developed

(4) The employer shall promptly determine and document an appropriate response to each of the findings of the compliance audit, and document that deficiencies have been corrected

(5) Employers shall retain the two (2) most recent compliance audit reports
