The documented technical information required to safely design, operate and maintain a process involving hazardous materials.
Process Safety Information (PSI) comprises the documented technical information describing hazardous materials, process technology, equipment design and safe operating limits required to support the safe design, operation, maintenance and modification of process facilities. PSI forms a fundamental element of Process Safety Management and supports engineering, operations and Management of Change activities.
Process Safety Information provides the technical foundation required for effective process safety management throughout the asset lifecycle.
Process Safety Information typically includes information relating to process chemistry, hazardous materials, equipment design, operating limits, relief systems, engineering drawings and associated technical documentation.
Process Safety Information provides the technical basis for managing process safety, whereas Process Safety Management establishes the organizational framework for applying that information.
