l GUIDELINES FOR RISK BASED PROCESS SAFETY
These pillars are further divided into 20 elements. The 20 RBPS elements
build and expand upon the original 12 elements proposed in the 1989 work,
reflecting 15 years of process safety management implementation experience
and well-established best practices from a variety of industries. The safety
record within the chemical and allied process industries is impressive. CCPS
member companies, as well as the industry in general, are committed to
continually improving on this impressive safety record. It is CCPS's hope that
adopting a risk-based approach to managing process safety will become an
integral part of this effort.
