Summary

The goal of the US occupational safety health administration's process safety management (PSM) standard (29 CFR 1910.119, process safety management of highly hazardous chemicals) is to protect people from large-scale catastrophic incidents that can occur in systems using hazardous or flammable chemicals. A portion of the PSM standard requires that end-users develop and implement mechanical integrity programs capable of managing the ongoing safe operation of systems that use hazardous chemicals, including the ammonia used in many large-scale industrial refrigeration systems.
