□ 'e-PSM', a process safety management system of small-/mid-sized chemical plants which Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency (President Lee Young-Soon) developed and is distributing is being well reviewed. □ e-PSM system is an IT system which supports workplaces with small-/mid-sized chemical facilities astronomically to conduct risk assessment and write a PSM (Process Safety Management) report. ? Small-/Mid-sized workplaces outsourced writing a PSM report to private consulting agencies because it requires technical expertise on various areas, which was a considerable financial burden. ? To reduce a burden of small-/mid-sized workplaces such as cost issue, etc., KOSHA set out to develop e-PSM system in 2014 and has been providing formal services since March 18th this year after test operations and briefing sessions. ? The e-PSM system is easily available for everyone online (www.kosha.or.kr/epsm).
□ Since the service of e-PSM system began, the number of downloads has reached about 7,300 as of now, and the service has been earning positive reviews in terms of customer satisfaction such as 93.3% of the people surveyed responding the system helps the business. □ The person concerned in KOSHA said, “KOSHA plans to improve the system so as to make a more scientific risk assessment such as the system reflecting self-developed reliability data of chemical facilities.” |
