OSHA Compliance Requirements

Go to Regulatory Compliance
For a technical safety engineering consultancy like Storm Technical, which primarily conducts desktop studies, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) compliance revolves around ensuring workplace safety through systematic hazard identification, risk assessment, and the implementation of control measures. The company’s role is to help clients meet regulatory requirements by providing technical safety expertise and comprehensive documentation.

Key OSHA Compliance Requirements Relevant to Technical Safety

These typically focus on fixed facilities like the Labuan Crude Oil Terminal (LCOT). Key elements include:

1. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

  • Identifying potential hazards (e.g., fire, explosion, toxic exposure) in industrial operations.
  • Performing detailed Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRA) to evaluate and quantify risks.

2. Process Safety Management (PSM)

  • Developing and documenting safety processes for facilities handling hazardous substances.
  • Ensuring compliance with OSHA PSM standards (29 CFR 1910.119) for managing risks associated with highly hazardous chemicals.

3. Emergency Preparedness

  • Assisting in the development of Emergency Response Plans (ERP) to mitigate the consequences of industrial accidents.

4. Compliance Audits and Reviews

  • Conducting desktop safety audits to evaluate and verify client compliance with OSHA standards.
  • Identifying gaps and recommending corrective actions through safety studies
