EXPLOSIVE SAFETY STANDARDS

Safety Management Services, Inc. (SMS) has considerable experience in providing Explosive Safety Standards to clients. These standards include the following:

·		Processing Standard
·		Tooling and Equipment Standards
·		Facility Standards
·		Incident Investigation Standards
·		Training Standards
·		Procedure Standards

Explosive Safety Standards are beneficial in several ways to plant safety. First, they relieve a company from the burden of having to "reinvent the wheel" and provide an efficient and reliable medium to pass along lessons learned and experience from more senior engineers to junior engineers. Secondly, they are an excellent reference for use during procedure generation, process design, management of change protocols, pre-startup safety reviews, etc.
