Process Safety Management (PSM) Regulation Assessment Tool

Welcome to our PSM Regulation Assessment Tool. This interactive questionnaire is designed to help you determine whether your company may be required to comply with OSHA’s Process Safety Management Standard (29 CFR 1910.119).

How to use this tool:

  1. Answer each question honestly and to the best of your knowledge.
  2. Provide accurate information about the chemicals you handle and their quantities.
  3. Consider all aspects of your operations, including storage, handling, and processing of materials.

Please note that this tool provides a preliminary assessment based on the information you input. While it can give you a good indication of whether PSM regulations might apply to your company, it is not a substitute for professional legal or safety advice.
