What is Hiding Under the Radar?

What is Hiding Under the Radar? – focused on overlooked process safety and reliability issues. Protection and mitigation measures are put in place, but they may not always be implemented and maintained in a manner that assures continued availability and reliability. How do we identify and correct these issues? Potential topic areas include examples from mechanical systems (piping & other fixed or rotating equipment), administrative and procedural controls, basic process control systems and alarms, safety instrumented systems, fire protection systems, critical utilities, infrastructure, and containment systems. What does “PSM critical” or “important to PSM” mean? Does auxiliary equipment get the attention it deserves, or are some hazards potentially not identified due to the assumption that lack of regulatory coverage means that those systems are not highly hazardous?
