OSHA PSM Program Development & Support
Develop and support Process Safety Management programs to help facilities meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements.
Service Overview
At Engineering Design Services, our OSHA PSM program development and support services help facilities build and maintain compliant, practical, and effective Process Safety Management systems. We take an engineering-driven approach to developing PSM programs that go beyond documentation, focusing on real-world implementation, operability, and risk reduction.
Our team works closely with clients to assess existing programs or build new ones from the ground up, ensuring alignment with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 requirements and industry best practices. We integrate process knowledge, facility operations, and safety systems to create programs that are both compliant and functional in day-to-day operations.
By combining technical engineering expertise with regulatory understanding, we help organizations strengthen their safety culture, reduce risk exposure, and improve overall process reliability.
Whether supporting new facilities, program upgrades, or ongoing compliance efforts, our team delivers PSM solutions built for real operational environments.
Engineering Challenge We Solve
Inadequate or poorly maintained PSM programs can lead to compliance violations, increased safety risk, and ineffective hazard control. Our approach addresses these challenges by:
Ensuring Regulatory Compliance: Aligning programs with OSHA PSM requirements and industry expectations.
Improving Program Effectiveness: Moving beyond paperwork to actionable, implemented safety systems.
Reducing Process Safety Risk: Strengthening safeguards across all covered processes.
Closing Program Gaps: Identifying and correcting deficiencies in existing PSM elements.
Enhancing Operational Consistency: Standardizing safety practices across facilities and teams.
Core Capabilities
Our team provides comprehensive OSHA PSM support across all required program elements:
Process Safety Information (PSI): Development and organization of complete process safety data packages.
Process Hazard Analysis (PHA): Support for HAZOP, What-If, and LOPA studies.
Operating Procedures: Development and review of safe operating procedures.
Mechanical Integrity Programs: Support for inspection, testing, and maintenance strategies.
Management of Change (MOC): Development and improvement of change control processes.
Incident Investigation Support: Integration of root cause analysis into PSM systems.
Training Program Development: Support for operator and maintenance training alignment.
Compliance Audits: Evaluation of PSM program effectiveness and regulatory alignment.
Advanced Tools & Technical Expertise
We apply structured methodologies and engineering expertise to ensure practical and compliant PSM systems:
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 Compliance Framework: Full alignment with regulatory requirements.
API & Industry Standards Integration: Incorporation of best practices from API and other guidelines.
Process Engineering Insight: Technical evaluation of covered processes and hazards.
Audit-Ready Documentation: Clear, organized, and defensible program records.
Cross-Functional Coordination: Integration with operations, safety, maintenance, and engineering teams.
