Abstract

Industries are operating in rapidly changing working environment. Introduction of complex major Hazard processes having the Potential for process safety Accidents. Limited understanding of the sources, causes, and consequences of major hazards are some of the major causes for serious accidents. These are Intolerable Risks which impact on People, Environment, Asset, and Reputation. Large events have Impacts of global dimension on reputation, regulatory, and community relationship and ability to deliver in marketplace. In hindsight the signs were clear, draw the right conclusions, and follow-up to prevent and manage Process Events in competent Manner. Low frequency nature of process events poses some challenges when implementing PSM. Assessing process risks properly as most people lack personal experience of process events. As process events have more complicated precursors, there is a need for more robust and sophisticated analysis tools to identify hazards and escalation factors. Although there are many challenges in implementing Process Safety management in process industries, it is mandatory to control the high potential risk accidents. It shouldn’t make over burden on any employee’s daily work which lead to many deviations or misuse from the system. It should be simplified and remodified without missing out any risk identification and mitigation process.

This paper is mainly talking about the incident trend with respect to process safety parameters and which element is the major contributor for these incidents. After identifying the major contributor, we studied to simplify the specific element which can followed by people very easily. Based on study, we provide suggestions to implement the same to applicable industries.
