OSHA issued in 1992, the Process Safety Management (PSM) of Highly Hazardous Substances. This rule requires owners/operators of facilities that handle hazardous chemicals in quantities greater than the listed thresholds to establish all the elements of a PSM. EPA has issued in June 1996, the rules for a Risk Management Program which also refers to specific substances and threshold quantities. These rules are applicable to all the facilities that use or store any of 139 regulated substances at quantities ranging from 100 lb to 10,000 lb. The RMP rule covers off-site hazards, while the OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) rule covers worker safety issues within the plant boundary. Some of the listed substances may be found in photovoltaic manufacturing facilities. This brief report presents the basic elements of these two rules and discusses their potential applicability in the photovoltaic industry.
A practical reference designed to guide plant safety personnel through the requirements of OSHA's Process Safety Management Standard and EPA's new Chemical Accident Release Prevention regulations. The author explains the regulations in nontechnical language and provides practical methods for achieving compliance. Includes compliance checklists as well as appendices including lists of regulated substances and threshold quantities, important government contacts, and OSHA's PSM Compliance Directive CPL 2-2.45A.
