Abstract

For past decades, the industry and academician realized the core of effective process safety management (PSM) is closely related to good process safety culture. Major accidents in process industry occur at low frequency but the consequences on people, environmental, and assets damage are catastrophic. Previous accidents in process industry recorded many deaths and injuries of facility personnel and public. Hence, many regulations and best practices were introduced to avoid major accidents from occurring and to mitigate the consequences. Risk based process safety (RBPS) Guideline is one of best practices to manage PSM, using risk‐based approaches. When accidents happened, internal and external stakeholders are greatly impacted if it is not mitigated effectively. Thus, element stakeholder outreach which lies in Commit to Process Safety pillars are considered as important elements to protect the stakeholders and promoting good safety culture.

The technique and work‐aid model are beneficial to help the organization managing stakeholders, educating the public on risk management and the importance of embracing safety culture in their life.

“…Reniers et al 28 framed an effective security design to aid the selection of the most appropriate concept for the required security solutions and protection. The risk‐based approaches used by Fauzi Rahman Jayaraman et al 29 formulated the framework to assist the organization in developing a structured approach to implementing stakeholder outreach. This approach will ensure that information is disseminated to the appropriate people and that operating costs are minimized.…”
