Hello,

I am looking for a PSM mentor (or expert) to discuss and provide guidance on the following tasks and responsibilities:

• Development and implementation of a PSM system at site level, under the guidance of Segment and Group leadership.
• Collaboration with process experts from each department, Segment and Group PSM experts, and external third-party specialists.
• Ensuring compliance with local regulations and Group PSM standards.
• Conducting and overseeing risk assessments (e.g., HAZOP, LOPA, FMEA) and implementing mitigation measures to reduce process-related risks.
• Driving the process safety culture across the organization, promoting awareness and adherence to PSM practices at all levels.
• Providing technical leadership on process safety issues, acting as a subject matter expert (SME) for cross-functional teams.
• Developing and delivering PSM training programs for employees and contractors.
• Leading incident investigations related to process safety, ensuring root causes are identified and corrective actions are implemented.
• Establishing and maintaining relationships with regulatory bodies and ensuring timely reporting of PSM-related information.
• Coordinating with reliability, maintenance, and production teams to prioritize critical areas of focus based on risk assessments.
• Tracking process safety performance indicators and reporting results to senior management.
• Assessing the site's PSM readiness vs. best practices and identifying major gaps.
• Coordinating and contributing to the development and follow-up of action plans, together with process and reliability experts.
• Ensuring operational units push the boundaries of reliability and maintain compliance with PSM standards.
• Reviewing progress of assigned shops in a regular and structured way.
• Contributing to the continuous improvement and rollout of corporate PSM standards.

I would appreciate your guidance and mentoring in approaching these responsibilities effectively.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo

You may find useful the Energy Institute's "High level framework for process safety management". For each one of the Elements, there is also a separate "Guidance on meeting expectations" document. I believe that you can download them all after you register. They may still offer training for the Elements that can be purchased singly. 

Good luck.
