Session Objectives:

Session attendees will increase their understanding of how air permitting and PSM/RMP compliance can be streamlined, specifically:
- Handling major process changes;
- Streamlining chemical inventory recordkeeping;
- What to do if adding a brand-new process to the facility.

Topic:

Air permits and process safety management (PSM) programs each require a small mountain of documentation to maintain compliance. But did you know that the two programs share common elements, and that you may be duplicating efforts? In this interactive session, we will discuss specific areas of overlap where critical compliance activities such as recordkeeping can be streamlined, killing two compliance programs with one stone! Learn how air and PSM/RMP compliance intermingle when major processes are changed, and how best to adapt both programs. Along the way, this session will include examples to help attendees build a strong sense of the underlying objectives behind air and PSM/RMP compliance, so that managing compliance is less daunting and easier going forward.
