Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this manual and a generic safety manual?

This manual is tailored to petroleum and coal products manufacturing, addressing specific processes like catalytic cracking, coking, and asphalt production. It includes industry-specific hazards, regulatory references, and terminology, making it more relevant and useful for your facility.

Does this manual ensure compliance with OSHA PSM?

The manual includes a comprehensive section on PSM elements if you indicate your facility has covered processes. However, it is a template and must be customized with your specific process safety information and procedures. It is not a substitute for a full PSM compliance program.

Can I use this manual for multiple facilities?

Yes, but you should customize each manual for the specific operations, chemicals, and hazards at each site. The manual includes placeholders for facility-specific details, so you can adapt it for multiple locations.
