Process Safety Management involves everyone from operators to mechanics to facility managers who assist the safety professional in analyzing the risk associated with production Disease associated with remodeling and repairing of bridges and older structures Containment for biological hazards histoplasmosis safe work practices, safety equipment use and facility design Reaction, Learning, Behavior, Results Kirkpatrick's four levels of training and learning evaluation Kirkpatrick's model 4 Levels of training outcomes: 1. Reaction criteria: focuses on what participants thought/felt about the program 2. Learning criteria: provides a quantifiable measure of what has been learned during the program 3. Behavior criteria: addresses the impact the program had on a participant's performance/behavior in the workplace 4. Results criteria: measures the effects of the program on broader organizational goals & objectives Kirkpatrick's taxonomy Reaction criteria - Trainees' attitudinal reactions Learning criteria - How much is learned Behavioral criteria - On-the-job changes that take place Results criteria - Ultimate value to company Risk is probability that a harmful consequence will occur as a result of an action For a risk to occur there must be a Risk factors source of the risk, a hazard. 1) probability of an undesirable occurrence 2) the severity of that occurrence risk assessment the process of measuring risk 4 steps of risk assessment 1. Hazard identification 2. Dose-response assessment 3. Exposure assessment 4. Risk characterization EPA definition of risk assessment a process in which information is analyzed to determine if an environmental hazard might cause harm to exposed persons and ecosystems EPA components of a risk assessment toxicity or dose-response assessment, exposure assessment Risk management process of deciding how and to what extent to reduce or eliminate risk factors by considering the risk assessment, engineering factors, and social, economic and political concerns. The Risk Management Plan Rule (RMP Rule) requires companies of all sizes that use certain f lammable and toxic substances to develop a risk management program Components of a Risk Management Plan • Roles and responsibilities • Budgeting • Timing • Risk categories • Methodology • Definitions of risk probabilities and impact • Probability and impact matrix • Revised stakeholders' tolerances • Reporting formats • Tracking ISO (International Organization for Standardization) was established in ISO 14000 1947
