CSB Recommendation to API & USW“Work together to develop two new consensusAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI)standards. In the first standard, create performanceprocess safetyy in the refineryy andindicators for ppetrochemical industries. Ensure that the standardidentifies leading and lagging indicators fornationwide public reporting as well as indicators foruse at individual facilities. Include methods for theddevelopmentlt andd use off ththe performancefiindicators.”di t”3

RP-754 Guiding Principles Starting Point – Capitalize on Previous Work– API / ACC / CCPS loss of primary containment definition– API other loss of primary containment definition– UK HSE and CCPS guidelines for process safety metrics6

RP-754 Guiding Principles Key Concepts – Indicator Attributes / Principles– Objective,jfew and simplep– Well defined, capable of being applied consistently across theindustry– IIndicatorsdi tshouldh ld ddrivei process safetyf t performancefiimprovementtand learning.– Indicators useful to all stakeholders and allow internal and externalbenchmarking– Indicators should be statistically valid, provide appropriate sensitivityto be useful for continuous improvement; sufficient # of events toallow predictive monitoring and identification of performance trends.7

RP-754 Applicability RP-754 Applicability– Developed for the refining and petrochemical industries, butmay also be applicable to other industries where loss ofcontainment has the potential to cause harm.– “ProcessProcess Safety”Safety as used in the document is independent ofand broader than OSHA regulatory requirements.– Applicabilitypp cab ty notot limitedted to facilitiesac t es cocoverede ed by OSOSHA PSMS oorsimilar national or international regulations.– Exclusions to focus metrics on Process Safety vs. all otherareas.9

Applicability / Events Excluded from Process Safety ReportingApplicability is not limited to those facilities covered by the OSHA ProcessSafety Management Standard , 29 CFR 1910.119 or similar national andinternational regulations.Events associated with the following activities fall outside the scope of thisRP:a)b)c)d)e)f)Releases from pipeline transfer operations occurring outside the processor storage facility fence line;Marine transport operations, except when the vessel is connected to theprocess for the purposes of feedstock or product transfer;Truck or rail operations, except when the vessel is connected to theprocess for the purposes of feedstock or product transfer, or if the truck orrail car is being used for on site storage;Vacuum truck operations, except on-site truck loading or dischargingoperations, or use of the vacuum truck transfer pump;Routine emissions that are allowable under permit or regulation;Office, shop and warehouse building events (e.g. office fires, spills,personnel injury or illness, etc.)10

Applicability / Events Excluded from Process Safety ReportingEvents associated with the following activities fall outside the scope of thisRP:g)h)i)j)k)Personal safety events (e.g.(e g slips,slips trips,trips falls) that are not directlyassociated with on-site response to a loss of primary containment (LOPC)event;LOPC events from ancillary equipment not connected to the process (e(e.g.gsmall sample containers);Quality assurance (QA), quality control (QC) and research anddevelopment (R&D) laboratories (pilot plants are within RP scope);Retail service stations; andOn-site fueling operations of mobile and stationary equipment (e.g. pickup truckstrucks, diesel generatorsgenerators, and heavy equipment)equipment).11

p2Tier 1 -- Process Safety Event Tier 1 – An unplanned or uncontrolled release of any material, includingnon-toxic and non-flammable materials (e.g., steam, hot condensate,nitrogen, compressed CO2 or compressed air) from a process thatresults in one or more of the consequences listed below:– An employee,employee contractor or subcontractor “daysdays away from work”workinjury and/or fatality; or– A hospital admission and/or fatality of a third party; or– An officially declared community evacuation or shelter-in-place ; or– A fire or explosionpresultingg in ggreater than or equalqto 25,000,ofdirect cost to the Company; or .12

p3Tier 1 -- Process Safety Event – Cont’d– A pressure relief device (PRD) discharge to atmosphere whetherdirectly or via a downstream destructive device that results in one ormore of the following four consequences: Liquid carryover, or Discharge to a potentially unsafe locationlocation, or On-site shelter-in-place, or Public pprotective measures ((e.g.,g road closure);)where the PRD discharge quantity is greater than the thresholdquantities in Table 1; or– A release of material greater than the threshold quantities describedin Table 1 in any one-hour period.

Tier 3 & 4 versus Tier 1 & 2Swiss Cheese ModelHAZARDHAZARD Protective “Barriers”“Weaknesses”or holesThe Swiss Cheese Model (Reason,1990) helps to compare and contrast:– Tier 1 events result in some level of harm(fire, LWC, release, etc.)– Tier 2 events result in a lesser level offharm.HARM– Tier 3 and 4 indicators provideinformation about the strength (or lackthereof) of barriers and weaknesses inthe equipment and hazard controlsystems.22

Tier 3 – Challenge to Safety Systems Purpose– Tier 3 indicators are likely to provide the greatest opportunity foridentification of areas for improvement in Process Safety at the site level.– Intended for internal company use and local (site) public reporting.Application of the Barrier concept– Tier 3 indicators typically represent challenges to the barrier system thatprogressed along the path to harm, but were stopped short of a Tier 1 orTier 2 LOPC consequence.Examples– SafeS f OperatingOti LimitLi it EExcursionsi– Primary Containment Inspection or Testing Results Outside AcceptableLimits– Demands on Safety Systems Activation of a Safety Instrumented System Activation of a Mechanical Shutdown System Activation of Pressure Relief Device (not counted as Tier 1 or Tier 2)– Other LOPC Events23
