The IOGP Process Safety Fundamentals (PSFs) have been developed to support companies as they seek to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, fatal and high severity process safety events. Designed to support those working in front-line operations, maintenance, and on wells teams, the PSF are informed by data and designed to draw attention to ...

Data reported by IOGP Members over a period of ten years (2007-2017) shows that 128 people lost their lives in 56 process safety events. In response to this, the IOGP Process Safety Fundamentals (PSFs) have been developed to support companies as they seek to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, fatal and high severity process safety events.

IOGP Process Safety Fundamentals (PSFs) have been developed to support companies as they seek to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, fatal and high severity process safety events.

We use at least two independent barriers for pressure containment and material process flow. We control utility systems connected to a process. We check the absence of an explosive atmosphere in the furnace before igniting the burners. We stay out of the Line of Fire. We avoid splash loading. We remove non-essential workers from hazards.

bp has adopted the Process Safety Fundamentals (PSF) developed by the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP). These are a set of basic principles for front line that emphasise existing good practices to prevent fatalities from process safety events.

Created by IOGP (The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers), these Process Safety Fundamentals were designed to work alongside the Life Saving Rules which outline personal safety principles. By recognising Process Safety Fundamentals, Step Change in Safety hopes to achieve the following:

The International Oil and Gas Petroleum Association (IOGP) has put together Process Safety Fundamentals (PSF). According to the IOGP these have been “developed to support companies as they seek to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, fatal and high severity process safety events.

Watch for Weak Signals is one of the 10 Process Safety Fundamentals (PSFs) developed by IOGP, the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers. PSFs have been designed to support...

This is an extract of the supporting information & guidance cards from the IOGP Process Safety Fundamentals documented in their Report 638. We discuss the work plan and what signals would tell us it is proceeding as expected. We pause and ask questions when signals and conditions are not as expected.

🔺 We use up-to-date documentation (e.g., Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) that accurately reflect installed systems and equipment. 🔺 We physically confirm the system is ready for the intended activity (e.g., valve positions, line up of relief devices, etc.).
