Introduction:

Process Safety Management (PSM) is a structured framework designed to prevent accidents and hazardous incidents in high-risk industries. Effective PSM ensures the safe handling of hazardous materials, minimizes operational risks, and enhances workplace safety. Compliance with regulatory standards such as OSHA and EPA is essential for maintaining operational integrity and protecting employees, communities, and the environment. This conference provides a comprehensive overview of PSM principles, regulatory compliance requirements, and practices for mitigating process-related hazards.
