How British Columbia is tackling Process Safety Management in high hazard industries
A multi-disciplinary approach and a first year focused on inspections and engagement are two elements of a new Process Safety initiative launched this year by WorkSafeBC, a governmental agency that oversees a no-fault insurance system for workplaces in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
The initiative is aimed at preventing low-frequency, high-consequence events such as catastrophic fires, explosions, chemical releases, and structural collapses.
