How compliant is your Organization’s Process Safety Management System, but more importantly are you actually implementing this system in the field effectively?

When it comes to Compliance, the Process Safety Management system needs to ensure that all relevant elements have the proper Standards, Operating Procedures, Tools, and Training and Competent people in place to operate the plant. While this might sound simple, the tough part is implementing this system in real life. Organizations require element champions to ensure Compliance and implementation and this requires a tremendous amount of effort each month to highlight Key Performance Indicators that allow leadership to see how effective the compliance and implementation performance of the site.

SHUP, Inc. has developed software that allows two critical items organizations strive for on a daily basis. One is a portal where Standards, Procedures and Training requirements are translated into digitalized forms are designed and built to suit OSHA requirements for all elements of the Process Safety Management system. Two, the software precisely measures implementation effectiveness by tracking actions from all the various elements to closure.

Each element is assigned a set of Key Performance Indicators, and at any given moment one can see how effective an organization is with respect to Regulatory Compliance and how effective this element is being implemented. Two unique scores are provided with a color code that helps to visually see which elements are in the “RED” zone which typically signifies danger and poor performance versus “Orange” color which signifies minor risk, and “Neutral” color which tells the organization that compliance is appropriate and implementation is in-line with organization goals, objective and plans.

The software will install a customized PSM Wheel with all the Mandatory Regulator PSM elements that are Risk-Based and all the Cultural Elements the organization strives to implement. The wheel is digitalized and installed on the company web portal where it is accessible by virtually anyone with access rights to the site. This is the most advanced visual compliance and implementation performance indicator ever built for Process Safety Management where performance indicators are visible in real time and are updated automatically with respect to action completions. SHUP, Inc. is committed to helping each and every user how to utilize the system.
