The development of the audit method has included the identification of possible performance indicators at each level of the sociotechnical pyramid for a range of areas of work in which accidents have been shown to occur most frequently. The measurementof performance indicators is part of a feedback loop which causes safety improvements. Integration of performance indicators into the audit system has been tested at three operating chemical industries in Terengganu and Selangor in Malaysia. A summary of the weaknesses of the similar elements identified in the three audited plants is presented. Analysis on the approach used enables the identification of deficiencies in safety management aspects. Keywords: Accidents, audit, deficiencies, performance indicators, safety management, and sociotechnical pyramid.

Implementation of a safety management system (SMS) in automotive manufacturing and assembly has been recognized as an effective way to provide a safe working environment for employees, increase employee morale, and reduce corporate costs. Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas, Inc. (TMMTX) has implemented a SMS in part of a regional goal initiated by Toyota Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. (TEMA) to support the OSHA’s Injury & Illness Prevention Program (I2P2). This system provides a systematic way to identify hazards; eliminate or control the risk and incorporate in Toyota Production System. In addition, the established management system provides a framework to meet legal obligations under occupational health and safety regulation. The system implemented provides methods to manage injury and illness related to process safety, ergonomic, and industrial hygiene risks. The system uses joint labor and management teams to identify and evaluate jobs and develop and implement solutions. This paper summarizes the efforts of TMMTX in implementing and maintaining workplace activities that meet the requirements of this safety management system. The methodologies, strategies, and challenges are outlined to provide important links that are critical in sustaining these activities.

Accident is one of the big issues that occur repeatedly in the process industries today though there is numerous application of the variety safeguarding measures that have been introduced. Equipment failure is identified as one of the root causes of these major accidents. One of the established standards that addressed the above issue is a Mechanical Integrity (MI) element of Process safety Management System (PSM) 29 CFR 1910.119(j). The main objective of this study is to introduce a systematic technique to implement PSM MI in process industries. This study covered analysis of requirements of the standard, development of framework and prototype tool as well as concept validation through a case study. Implementation of this technique will help employers to prevent major accidents and compliance to the PSM standard simultaneously.

Safety Knowledge

Cloud computing is a large-scale distributed computing mode, which forms an abstract, virtual, and dynamically scalable resource pool. The resource pool can provide services including computing, storage, development platform and software to users through Internet on demand. Therefore, it possesses powerful computing and storage capacity and even lots of other advantages. In this paper, the petrochemical plant safety management system (PSMS) proposed based on cloud computing whose function can be extended dynamically. It includes the online database concerning process safety knowledge, production-related information system which can be used to train operators and fulfill online inquiry. It also contains hazard fingerprints libraries and the hazard countermeasure libraries of chemical process. PSMS can executive computations with different scales and types based on massive real-time data collected from process. And the computation results can be matched with the hazard fingerprints database to evaluate and predict the process safety situation. If PSMS interacts with the DCS, the process may eliminate hazard by itself based on the hazard countermeasure database. Therefore, the real time information and safety knowledge of process can be organized to form wisdom, which would enhance the process safety greatly. The computing power of the cloud computing can guarantee the model computation completed just in time. The powerful sever cluster and highly reliable data center of the cloud computing guarantee that the information system, hazard fingerprints database and hazard countermeasure database can be extended dynamically, which also guarantee the in-time matching among computation results, hazard fingerprints, hazard fingerprints and its countermeasures. In order to take full advantages of cloud computing to make it easy to expand and upgrade, and then to solve the problem that the different petrochemical production system needs different services, the software will be developed with service oriented architecture (SOA) which is more abstract than object oriented architecture (OOA).
