Compliant and efficient PSM processes [webinar recap]

PSM compliance can be time-consuming and complex, but this can easily change by having the right tools and strategies. EHS software can streamline process safety to meet and enhance regulatory standards and overall efficiency.

On August 29, 2024, we hosted a webinar to demonstrate how our EHS software tools (Frontline MOC, ACT, CSM, and LMS) work in tandem to produce compliant and efficient PSM processes. Whether you’re a safety professional, operations manager, or decision-maker who is looking to optimize your PSM strategies while staying compliant, this webinar is for you.

Why PSM compliance is critical

Our webinar starts with a discussion of the difficulties that come with PSM compliance. The OSHA PSM standard (29 CFR 1910.119) is designed to prevent the unexpected release of hazardous chemicals that can lead to catastrophic events in the workplace.

It involves tasks like:

• Maintaining updated compliance records
• Managing process changes
• Making sure employees meet training requirements
• Tracking the completion of corrective actions

Compliance with this regulation is not just about avoiding fines; it’s about safeguarding employees, protecting the environment, and maintaining operational integrity. Many organizations struggle to keep an oversight on these different moving parts, as these processes require coordination, accuracy, and accountability. This is where Frontline EHS comes in.

Frontline’s PSM solutions suite

At Frontline, we understand the challenges that stem from managing efficient PSM processes, which is why we’ve developed a suite of interconnected tools designed to streamline and simplify these tasks.

MOC (management of change): MOC is the core element of efficient and compliant PSM. It ensures that any process, equipment, or personnel changes are managed, properly reviewed, documented, and approved before implementation. This minimizes the risk of overlooking critical safety risks and ensures that all changes comply with OSHA standards.

LMS (learning management system): Proper training is also a must-have with PSM compliance. Frontline LMS ensures that all employees, from new hires to seasoned veterans and contract workers, receive the necessary training to safely perform their roles. The system tracks training progress, helping ensure compliance with OSHA’s training and documentation requirements.

ACT (action tracking): The Frontline ACT module helps organizations manage and track corrective actions, so they can resolve issues and document all steps efficiently. This not only helps in maintaining compliance but also in continuously improving current safety processes.

Overview of PSM process webinar

While each of these tools is powerful on its own, they provide an all-around solution when combined. Our on-demand webinar explores how these modules integrate to provide a seamless and efficient PSM process.

For example, when you initiate a change in the MOC module, it automatically triggers the need for new training in the LMS or creates a corrective action in the ACT module. This level of integration ensures that nothing slips through the cracks and that all aspects of PSM compliance are covered.

The webinar features moderator Ceren Dulgar, Account Executive Jim Heugle, and Implementation Specialist Tyler Kruk. They walk you through real-life scenarios, showcasing how Frontline can transform a seemingly complex and overwhelming process into one that is manageable, efficient, and compliant.
