Online Survey: Rating the Effectiveness of Your PSM Program





              		       
It has been eight years since OSHA released the process safety management (PSM) standard. The year 2001 will mark the third round of required compliance audits. How do we all feel about our PSM programs? We all know that PSM is a performance-based standard with room for continuous improvement, but are the programs good now and is there much room for improvement? What PSM elements need the most work? Please take a few moments to complete our July online survey. As usual, submissions are anonymous.
