Webb,
Murray & Associates prides itself on providing process
safety management and risk management engineers that come
from the chemical processing and refining industries, with
design, maintenance, operating, and process safety backgrounds.
Because our process safety management associates have actually
worked in covered processes and facilities, they understand
PSM/RMP implementation requirements and how plants operate.
Therefore, Webb, Murray is in an excellent position to provide
knowledgeable personnel to assist in development and implementation
of process safety management activities within your facility,
group, or company.
Process
Safety Compliance Audits
Because
of our associates' experience in operating environments, Webb,
Murray can perform/facilitate efficient, comprehensive, in-depth
audits of your PSM/RMP covered facilities. Webb, Murray auditors
will examine the programs that currently exist at a facility,
evaluate their implementation, and determine the level of
compliance through interviews with a cross-section of facility
staff, reviews of records and documentation, and field observation
of work practices and plant equipment.
Our
auditors can provide an audit protocol, which is based upon
the OSHA PSM compliance directive CPL 2-2.45A (CH-1, dated
9/13/94) and EPA's Guidance for Auditing Risk Management Plans/Programs
(EPA 550-B99-008). While our protocol follows the format of
the guidance documents, our technical staff has expanded it
to reflect their industrial knowledge and experience. This
includes knowledge of various industry consensus codes, standards,
and recommended practices issued by organizations such as
ASME, API, NFPA, and the CCPS.
The
typical audit report provided by Webb, Murray will document
the program strengths and weaknesses, and provide auditor
recommendations as necessary for achieving compliance and/or
improving programs. Webb, Murray auditors can supply objectivity,
benchmarking capabilities, and the dedicated time necessary
for completing the audit and issuing the report in a timely
manner.
