A theme of this site is that climate change leadership will be provided by businesses, not necessarily because they want to “do the right thing”, but because they want to be commercially successful and because they want to avoid their own “Kodak Moment”.

With this thought in mind, we have started a series of subscription-based posts on the ‘Net Zero by 2050’ theme. Our aim is to describe both the realities and the opportunities of our rapidly changing world.

We are working on a book with the working title The Process Safety Professional. In it we consider the skills, knowledge and experience that someone needs to be successful in this business.

The following quotation is taken from a draft of the manuscript. 

The skills that a process safety professional needs can be divided into the following four categories, in roughly this order of importance.

There are many books, articles and web sites that describe process safety management techniques and systems. There are fewer publications that describe the skills needed to become an effective process safety professional. With that thought in mind, we are working on the manuscript of a book entitled The Process Safety Professional. As time permits, we will share some of the draft material, and ask for comments.

This is the fourth post in our series in which we review the proposed updates to the EPA’s (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Risk Management Program (RMP). This series complements the similar series for OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard. The update process for the EPA rule is described in the post The EPA RMP Updates.

This is our second post in a series in which we review the proposed updates to the EPA’s (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Risk Management Program (RMP). This series complements the similar series that we have just completed for OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard.

This is the third post in our series in which we review the proposed updates to the EPA’s (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) Risk Management Program (RMP). The original post is located here.

We continue with our reviews of the EPA’s proposed updates to its Risk Management Program. This is the sixth post in this series. Earlier posts are indexed here. The proposed change discussed in this post is to do with audits. (All comments refer to Scope 3 requirements.)

We have completed our review of the 24 proposed updates to the OSHA process safety management standard. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is going through a similar update process with regard to their Risk Management Program rule. The OSHA and EPA updates are similar in many respects, but there are also significant differences.
