Industrial safety

Process Safety Management or PSM has been known about for several decades, particularly as a result of several historical devastating industrial disasters, within the Oil & Gas industry. The key questions explained in this document are:

• Why is PSM important to all of us in the stainless steels industry?
• What are the ISSF doing to support our members in PSM?
• What can we do to protect ourselves from Process Safety Incidents?

Occupational safety management (OSM) systems have been developing within our industry for many decades, supported by key pieces of legislation. In recent decades the shift towards behavioural approaches to occupational safety has become better understood, however within our industry there are recognizable different levels of maturity across all companies. This document sets out to explain the key elements of OSM systems and tackles the following key questions.

• Why is OSM important to all of us in the stainless steel industry?
• What are the ISSF doing to support our members in OSM?
• What can we do to protect ourselves from Occupational Safety Incidents?

Established in 2014, Steel Safety Day was set up to reinforce awareness of the five most common causes of safety incidents and to create a safer working environment across the entire steel industry worldwide.

By focusing every year on the top five causes of serious safety incidents - moving machinery, working at heights, falling objects, on-site traffic and process safety incidents - worldsteel and ISSF intend to set up a continuous improvement process and reiterate its commitment to the safety and health of the people who work in the industry.

Each year, one of the five causes is highlighted to raise awareness of the cause and how to prevent associated risks.

This activity is organised in cooperation with the World Steel Association.
