AM-13-24 Considerations for Effectively Managing Emergency Relief Systems Design

Description:

This paper discusses key considerations for an organization to ensure their ERS not only protects their facility, but also serves as a critical input into their process hazard analysis (PHA) process and other provisions of PSM (management of change, and pre-startup safety reviews, for example). Considerations include implementing and managing a facility wide ERS design basis documentation project (a “flare study”), maintaining the ERS design documentation after the project, and effectively integrating the ERS design documentation into other elements of PSM.
