Process Safety Incident (PSI)
Styron takes employee safety, PSIs and LOPC incidents very seriously. In fact, for every LOPC and safety incident, Styron conducts a thorough Root Cause Analysis, takes corrective action when needed and shares learnings globally to improve performance.
This approach is reflected in how Styron outperforms the industry in these areas, and is further enhanced by the fact that Styron includes contract workers in its calculations, which is not always the case across the chemical industry.
- PSI = Process Safety Incident
- Criteria same as ACC
An incident is considered to be a PSI if it consists of one or more of the following:
- An explosion or fire with over $25,000 in damage.
- A large acute chemical release of a flammable or toxic chemical.
- A small chemical release causing serious injury.
