Summary

This article is the Spanish translation of an article presented in the ASHRAE Journal (See the Bulletin of the IIR, reference 2008-0616). 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.
