On-Demand: Facility Siting – Why and How to Effectively Perform Your Assessment
10:00 (EST) Thursday, January 23, 2025
Facility siting is a significant requirement under OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard (29 CFR 1910.119). This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of facility siting requirements, explaining both the “why” and the “how” of conducting an effective assessment. We will explore the latest methodologies available to help organizations meet compliance and enhance safety, from simpler approaches to more sophisticated techniques.
Facility siting is a key component of the Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) within PSM, and it’s essential for minimizing risks to personnel, equipment, and the environment. During this session, we will focus on several methodologies of facility siting:
- Look-up Tables
