This checklist is designed to assist companies in understanding and organizing compliance efforts with OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard 1910.119. Using this checklist alone does not guarantee full compliance with OSHA regulations.

  • Employee Participation – Involve employees in PSM planning and access.
  • Process Info – Document chemical, tech, and equipment data.
  • Hazard Analysis – Analyze risks every 5 years and document actions.
  • Operating Procedures – Maintain updated, written procedures.
