Download PDFPrintShare

OSHA is implementing nationally an inspection emphasis program for workplaces with highly hazardous chemicals in quantities covered by the Process Safety Management (PSM) standard. This program is an outgrowth of a limited pilot program initiated in 2009. Employers covered by the PSM standard are subject to an increased chance of inspection. OSHA’s express goal is to increase employer attention to employee safety in relation to highly hazardous chemicals.
