Process safety is the practice of protecting people, the environment, and equipment from the potential hazards associated with industrial processes. This can include the handling of hazardous materials, the operation of complex equipment and machinery, and the use of highly reactive chemicals.

Effective process safety management involves identifying and evaluating potential hazards, implementing control measures to mitigate those hazards, and continuously monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of those controls. It also includes providing training and resources to ensure that employees understand and follow proper safety protocols.

The goal of process safety is to prevent incidents that could result in injury, loss of life, environmental damage, or equipment damage. By prioritizing process safety, organizations can protect their employees, the public, and their own assets.
