Fatalities, injuries, property damage and business interruption can cause a substantial drop in share price and loss of market share for a company. Disruption of normal business activity can cause a temporary loss of corporate direction by diverting senior management’s attention from running the business to overseeing damage control. Additionally, company officers may be subject to personal liability and even criminal charges. Process safety is a blend of engineering and general management. It focuses on preventing catastrophic accidents and near hits associated with a loss of containment of energy or hazardous chemicals. These engineering and general management skills exceed those required for managing workplace safety, as they impact people, property and the environment.
