Process safety issues are not only for the inside of company but also for its compliance and corporate social responsibility. The process industry has spent an enormous amount of its resources to operator training and maintenance work and has taken its responsibility of executing process safety management (PSM). As most of PSM in Japan have been provided on the basis of experiences, individual sub-tasks in responsible PSM have been separately executed. It is very difficult and costly to carry out the PSM with information integrity. In order to plan and execute a reliable and feasible PSM, the process industry has to carefully analyze the social requirements of health, safety, environment and sustainability in terms of plant lifecycle engineering, risk management, personnel task, and cost and decide an executable PSM. This paper proposes a responsible framework of PSM based on safety-conscious plant lifecycle engineering, and a technological information infrastructure (TII) to support its execution.
