Process Safety Management
Track hazard-review follow-ups to closure, keep safety-critical equipment tested, and control bypassed safety systems.
Process safety covers loss of containment: fires, explosions and toxic releases. These are the events that can injure many people at once and shut a plant down. This lite module covers four parts that fit Safetify's existing workflows: hazard-review follow-up, a schedule for safety-critical equipment testing, time-limited control of safeguard bypasses, and a pre-startup safety review.
What it does
What Process Safety covers
Hazard-review follow-up
Recommendations from a process hazard analysis are tracked to closure, with revalidation reminders for the study itself.
Safety-critical equipment testing
A due and overdue testing schedule for relief valves, trips, gas detectors and similar equipment, with each test recorded and its results kept.
QR scan in the field
Field technicians scan the equipment and record each test in the mobile app. It is the only mobile capture flow in this module.
Safeguard bypass control
Temporarily taking a safety system out of service needs a request and an approval. The bypass has a hard deadline to be restored, and is flagged if it runs past it.
Pre-startup safety review
A readiness review linked to a Management of Change (MOC) record before startup proceeds. The MOC screen on the dashboard is coming soon.
Incident severity classification
Incidents are classified against the API RP 754 severity tiers. A person always sets the tier. It is never computed automatically.
How it works
From first entry to closed record
The steps below follow the module from start to finish, in the order most companies use it.
- 1
Log the hazard-review findings
Record each recommendation from the hazard review and assign it an owner.
- 2
Register the critical equipment
Add the safety-critical equipment and set its test schedule.
- 3
Test and scan
Field technicians scan each item in the app and record its test result.
- 4
Control any bypass
Request a bypass with a restore deadline. It must be approved, and it is flagged if it runs past the deadline.
- 5
Review before startup
Complete the pre-startup safety review, linked to its Management of Change record, before startup proceeds.
Who uses it
What each role does with it
Field Worker
Scans safety-critical equipment in the app and records each test.
Supervisor
Manages findings, the test schedule and pre-startup reviews, and approves bypass requests raised by others.
Company Admin
Manages findings, the test schedule and pre-startup reviews, and approves bypass requests raised by others.
HSE Manager
Reviews findings, schedules, bypasses and pre-startup reviews, read-only.
Role access is enforced on the server. HSE Managers are read-only everywhere on the dashboard, and a role only sees what it is allowed to.
Safeguards
Built-in limits and safeguards
- The person who raised or fixed a finding cannot be the one who verifies it as resolved. Verification is independent.
- Overdue status is worked out from the due date, not stored as a flag.
- A bypass that runs past its restore deadline is flagged.
- Incident severity tiers are always set by a person, never computed automatically.
- The Management of Change and permit records this module links to are referenced read-only and are never changed by it.
- A safeguard bypass must be approved by someone other than the person who requested it.
Scope
What it does not do
Stated plainly, so nothing is bought on a misunderstanding. Items marked as coming soon are on the roadmap, not in the product today.
- This is a lite build. It does not replace a qualified process safety engineer.
- HAZOP and LOPA worksheet editors, bow-tie diagrams, and quantitative risk or consequence modelling are not included.
- The hazard-review report is uploaded by the company. Safetify does not generate it.
- Maintenance work orders, spare parts and integration with a control system or safety-system historian are not included.
- Blocking Management of Change or permit transitions based on the state of a pre-startup review or bypass is not included.
- Operating procedure document control is not included.
