Standard’’ or ‘‘the Standard’’)
containing certain minimum
requirements to prevent accidental
releases of chemicals that could pose a
threat to employees. Under the authority
granted by the Act, OSHA published the
PSM Standard at 29 CFR 1910.119. The
Standard, rather than setting specific
engineering requirements, emphasizes
the application of documented
management controls; using the
controls, companies address the risk
associated with handling or working
near highly hazardous chemicals. The
Standard contains a number of
paperwork requirements such as
developing written process safety
information, procedures and
management practices, to update
operating procedures and safe work
practices, to evaluate safety history and
policies of contractors, to conduct
