The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) created the next generation process safety management framework – Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS). These Guidelines (38 pages) offer two central strategies for how companies can succeed in applying their management system: Use RBPS criteria to design, correct, or improve process safety management system elements. Review the work activities associated with each element and update them based on: (1) An understanding of the risks associated with the facilities and operations. (2) An understanding of the demand for process safety activities and the resources needed for these activities. (3) An understanding of how process safety activities are influenced by the process safety culture within the organization. 2) Focus on process safety effectiveness as a function of performance and efficiency. Use metrics to measure performance and efficiency so that finite resources can be applied in a prioritized manner to the large number of competing process safety needs. Use management reviews to verify that the organization is doing the right things well in its journey toward process safety excellence.
