Process safety management (PSM) is a term that is most frequently used in highly hazardous industries like oil refining, gas processing and chemical manufacturing. However, PSM could apply to any industry where people are working in and around any hazardous equipment or environment. 

Like many worksites, oil and gas sites have potential hazards like falling from elevated platforms, slipping and tripping, and accidents due to lack of proper machine guarding.

Turnarounds (TAR) are a costly, complex necessity for oil and gas companies.
