Laws of process safety

 And now for a bit of humour, I have coined some laws of process safety.....

• Process safety performance is inversely proportional to the time a plant / maintenance manager spends in meetings!
• The number of technical persons on the board of a chemical manufacturer is inversely proportional to the chance of a process safety incident occurring
• The more voluminous your PSM program, the more likely a process safety incident would occur.
• Managing process safety is no rocket science - it is look,listen and feel (look at what people are doing, listen to people and feel the pulse of the plant)
• Runaway reactions always happen when the human is around!
• Process safety management does not require six sigma, it requires stick sigma!
