Introduction
In the process industries, Process Safety Management (PSM) embodies the whole of measures and activities to achieve an acceptable safe operating process installation. This includes the control of the safety-related business processes. Obviously, it needs to be known how these business processes can be controlled. Therefore, it needs to be established which aspects or parameters influence these processes and can subsequently be used to control them. This implies that measurement and analysis of the parameter values should result in the necessary information in order to take appropriate control actions. An essential question that needed to be answered was which parameters are most relevant to be controlled. To answer this question, the PSM involved business processes which were divided into the elementary safety-related activities. For each of these activities, the most relevant parameters that influence the performance of the involved activity were established based on the key performance indicator as used in the field of reliability information management. This resulted in the development of the Safety-related Activity Management or SAM model. In order to control the performance of the involved activity the values of these parameters must be measured and controlled.issues
