Chemical Processing

• DOE Technical Standards The Office of Worker Health and Safety (EH-5) has published two handbooks for use by DOE contractors managing facilities and processes covered by OSHA's Rule for Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals. The PSM Rule contains an integrated set of chemical process safety management elements designed to prevent chemical releases that can lead to catastrophic fires, explosions, or toxic exposures.

• DOE published a sample Process Hazards Analysis. Ken Murphy, 301-903-6514, (kenneth.murphy@hq.doe.gov) is the point of contact for copies of this report until it is available online.
