Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
All of the above
Which of the following is a key aspect of employee involvement in PSM?
Ensuring regular pay raises
Involving workers in decision-making regarding safety practices
Limiting employee access to safety procedures
Restricting training to upper management only
What does "Inherently Safer Design" aim to achieve in process safety?
Minimizing the number of safety devices
Eliminating hazards by redesigning processes to avoid dangerous conditions
Maximizing output by increasing process complexity
Reducing operating costs by eliminating safety checks
What is the primary purpose of the mechanical integrity program in PSM?
To improve the appearance of machinery
