Safty Test 1 CHEN 307

A set of policies, processes, and procedures used by an organization to ensure that it can fulfill the tasks required to achieve its objectives.

Management System

A system to identify, review and approve all modifications to equipment, procedures, raw materials, and processing conditions, other than "replacement in kind," prior to implementation.

Management of Change (MOC)

A management system focused on ensuring that equipment is designed, installed, and maintained to perform the desired function.

Mechanical Integrity (MI)

A systematic and thorough check of a process prior to the introduction of a highly hazardous chemical to a process.

Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR)

Design information is a "value add" to the PSM process

true

Employers need a written plan of action describing employee participation

true

Process Safety Information is critical to other parts of PSM

true

Processes are the "how", systems are the

"what"

An example of a safety metric that is NOT a lagging metric is

Response time for addressing safety suggestions

A measure of human injury, environmental damage, or economic loss in terms of both the incident likelihood and the magnitude of the loss or injury.

Risk

Identifies the potential effects of a chemical accident, identifies steps the facility is taking to prevent an accident and spells out emergency response procedures should an accident occur.

Risk Management Plan (RMP)

The control of recognized hazards to achieve an acceptable level of risk" is a good definition of

Safety

Summary documents that provide information about the hazards of a product and advice about safety precautions.

Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

Which is NOT a Risk Management question?

do we have to tell anyone?

A plant had 6 recordable injuries in 2020. The employees worked 735,000 hours. What is the recordable injury rate?

1.63

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) diamond does NOT provide information for

Chemical Density

An excellent safety program distinguishes itself by

Establishing Safety as a Core Value of the organization

The buildings, containers or equipment which contain a process.

Facility

NFPA red diamond provides information for

Fire Hazard

The internationally-accepted standard for the identification of health, physical and environmental hazards in the workplace.

Global Harmonized System (GHS)

An inherent chemical or physical characteristic that has the potential for causing damage to people, property or the environment.

Hazard

Process Safety addresses the control and prevention of

High consequence, low frequency events

An event, or series of events, resulting in one or more consequences, such as harm to people, damage to the environment, or asset/business losses.

Incident

A systematic approach for determining the causes of an incident and developing recommendations that address the causes to help prevent or mitigate future incidents.

Incident Investigation

he four (4) categories of Risk Management Strategy are

Inherent, Passive, Active and Procedural

A protective response which is initiated by an out-of-limit process condition.

Interlock

A safe work practice in which energy sources are positively blocked away from a segment of a process with a locking mechanism and visibly tagged.

Lock Out/Tag Out

Information about the identities and hazards of chemicals are made available and understandable to workers via

OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom)

Written, step-by-step instructions and information necessary to operate equipment.

Operating Procedures

Any activity involving a highly hazardous chemical including any use, storage, manufacturing, handling, or the on-site movement of such chemicals, or combination of these activities.

Process

An organized effort to identify and evaluate hazards associated with processes and operations to enable their control.

Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)

Physical, chemical, and toxicological information related to the chemicals, process, and equipment.

Process Safety Information

A disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes handling hazardous substances by applying good design principles, engineering, and operating practices.

Process Safety Management (PSM)

Which is NOT an element of a Safety Program

Production records

The release of the largest quantity of a regulated substance from a vessel or pipe that results in the greatest distance from the point of release to a specified endpoint.

RMP Worst Case Scenario

A replacement which satisfies the design specification.

Replacement in kind

The amount of a hazardous substance that has to be released before the EPA requires notification to go to the National Response Center.

Reportable Quantity

The quantity specified for regulated substances pursuant to section 112(r)(5) of the Clean Air Act as amended.

Threshold Quantity

Hard hats, steel-toed safety shoes and safety glasses are

basic required PPE

Employers are not required to inform employees of PSM activities

false

Inadvertent mixing is not a concern as long as knowledgeable people operate the process

false

Safety contacts, safety committees, and safe work observations are

forms of employee participation

What is NOT an element of a good Safety Culture

good pay

Hazard pictograms are used to communicate hazards and are NOT typically found

in Production Reports

An Unsafe Safety Act is usually NOT the result of

inadequate lighting

An effective management system is deliberately

integrated to align strategy with actions

Safety metrics collected and analyzed after incidents have occurred are

lagging metrics

Which is NOT a good Safety Performance Improvement tool

maintenance cost reports

Which is NOT needed in Process Safety Information

number of safe work observations

Processes produce

outputs

Safeguards designed to avoid incidents are

preventive

All the related activities done to make a system function are called

processes

Processes utilize this to improve

requirements and feedback

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are usually written by

the manufacturer or supplier

Most accidents are the result of

unsafe acts

For PSM, knowledgeable employees and process safety information are

value adds

Risk that is consciously tolerated by someone seeking to obtain the benefits of the activity is

voluntary risk
