POINT A: PSM Process Hazards Analysis Employee Participation Process Safety Information Operating Procedures Contractors Training Prestartup Safety Review Hot Work Permits Management of Change PROTECTION OF EMPLOYEES Mechanical Integrity Incident Investigation Emergency Planning and Response Compliance Audits Trade Secrets Documentation Control / Access Management Commitment Process Safety Management (PSM) is an integral part of the plant s overall management system. PSM is essential in order to properly identify and understand potential process hazards so as to prevent process-related incidents and injuries. A systematic approach to evaluating the whole process is imperative when implementing an effective PSM program. This helps ensure employee and public safety, improve business value and performance, as well as compliance with government regulations. exida works with its clients to help develop an efficient PSM program for their organization, which includes an evaluation of current processes to define key elements that may impact such processes. This integrated lifecycle approach leverages activities from multiple disciplines into a coordinated, streamlined process. Having a sound Mechanical Integrity program for the Safety Instrumented System (SIS) is just one of the key components to ensuring that there is an appropriate set of Operating and Maintenance policies & procedures in place to ensure the integrity of the plant. By having the correct procedures and test plans in place, your critical systems can enjoy years of trouble free service. PSM
FUNCTIONAL SAFETY To improve plant process safety, functional safety systems enable the orderly shutdown of processing units when abnormal situations occur that are beyond the capabilities of the regulatory control system or operators to correct or to prevent a catastrophe. exida makes implementation of safety and high availability automation products easier and more cost effective than ever. Users now have the ability to use procedures and tools that were written by industry authorities for a fraction of the cost of having them internally developed, and without having to go through the effort of having core staff trained to become safety and reliability experts. This lets you and your staff focus on your core tasks. The lifecycle is a series of phases from initiation and specifications of safety requirements, covering design and development of safety features in a safety-critical system, and ending in decommissioning of that system. exida provides initial guidance on performing key facets of the lifecycle, providing specific services for individual tasks within each lifecycle phase. FUNCTIONAL SAFETY ALARM MANAGEMENT Having effective operators in a process plant is critical to maximizing production efficiency, product quality, plant reliability, and safety. During a single shift, operators make numerous decisions that affect plant profitability and safety. These include actions to avoid unplanned upsets or to mitigate events that could lead to plant outages or loss of containment incidents. A well-designed and highly functional alarm system can add to the operator s decision-making ability.
An effective alarm management program can deliver quantifiable business benefits in the following areas: Improved plant reliability and safety (Less lost production, fewer demand on the SIS) Increased operator productivity Reduction in maintenance of process equipment Production optimization / debottlenecking / increased throughput Proven in use validation of alarm credit in Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) Reduced environmental / regulatory incidents Energy savings CYBERSECURITY CYBERSECURITY Cybersecurity has rapidly become something that goes hand-in-hand with process safety. It is part of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) as well as the President has Issued Executive Order 13636 Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. Incidents like Stuxnet have drawn attention to the need for addressing cybersecurity in our plants as it has been demonstrated that in our new world, they are now a source of potential process safety incident. exida has highly experienced personnel in industrial control cyber security methods and techniques. exida provides customers with services covering the lifecycle, e.g. Risk Assessments, Equipment Cyber Evaluation Reports, NIST Gap Assessments, Vulnerability Assessments, Defence-in-Depth: Zone and Conduit Modelling (Electronic Security Perimeters), and more.

SAFETY ASSESSMENT
POINT Zed: Assessments As part of the lifecycle, management of functional safety and cyber security is a requirement of IEC 61511. The standard lists 5 stages of assessment to help achieve compliance with the requirement. Although Functional Safety Assessment 3 (FSA 3) is to be performed as part of the pre-startup safety review (PSSR) as the minimum requirement, exida recommends that the five (5) Functional Safety Assessments (FSA), are carried out to ensure full compliance: FSA 1 after the hazard and risk assessment has been carried out, the required protection layers & security countermeasures identified and the Safety Requirements Specification (SRS) developed. FSA 2 after the SIS/ cyber security countermeasures have been designed FSA 3 after the installation, pre-commissioning and final validation of the SIS and cyber security countermeasures have been completed and operation and maintenance procedures developed. FSA 4 after gaining experience in operating and maintenance FSA 5 after modification and prior to decommissioning of a SIS/ cyber security countermeasures 8
