1. PURPOSE

To establish minimum requirements for conducting pre-startup safety reviews (PSSRs) of

new or modified facilities performed at mechanical completion prior to startup or the
introduction of regulated PSM/RMP chemicals.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1. Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR)

A systematic review of new or modified facilities performed at mechanical
completion prior to startup or the introduction of regulated PSM/RMP chemicals.
PSSRs must be performed for all new facilities/stationary sources and for modified
facilities/stationary sources when the modification is significant enough to require
a change in the process safety information. This review ensures that:
• Construction and equipment is in accordance with design specifications;
• Safety, operating, maintenance, and emergency procedures are in place and
are adequate;
• For new facilities/stationary sources (see definition above), a process hazard
analysis (which meets PSM/RMP regulatory expectations for regulated facilities)
has been performed and recommendations have been resolved or implemented
before startup; and modified stationary sources meet the requirements contained
in management of change; and,
• Training of each employee involved in operating a process has been
completed.

2.2. Process Safety Information (PSI)

Includes the following types of information:
 Information pertaining to the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals used
in the process.
 Information pertaining to the technology of the process.
 Information pertaining to the equipment in the process.

2.3. MOC Change Coordinator

The individual assigned to a particular change, responsible for coordinating all
aspects of the change. The Change Coordinator ensures that each component of
the MOC and PSSR is adequately addressed, maintains appropriate
documentation, obtains necessary approvals and training sign-offs prior to the
change, and tracks all related action items to completion. The Change Coordinator
is also responsible for ensuring that the startup date and time are accurate and
that affected employees are notified upon actual startup (and termination if

temporary) of the change. Change Coordinators must be knowledgeable in the

requirements of this procedure as well as the Port Arthur MOC Procedure. For
Capital Projects, the Change Coordinator may be a Manufacturing Representative
or TES Project Manager. For Capital Projects, the ultimate responsibility to
ensure the MOC and PSSR is completed falls to the Project Manager. For Capital
Projects, see the corporate procedure, Corporate Procedure BC032.013 Ecology
& Safety Project Reviews, for additional guidance.

2.5. Risk Levels

This is the risk level given after conducting the Risk Level Assessment method in
the MOC Change Manager Database found in Tab 3 of the MOC and filled out by
the MOC Coordinator. In lieu of the Risk Level Assessment checklist, the Mode of
Failure Assessment can but utilized to assign Risk Level or during the Step
Review Process. Risk Levels are as follows:
 Level 1/No or Low Risk
 Level 2/Medium Risk
 Level 3/High Risk
 Level 4/High or Critical Process Risk
Reference Table 1 of Port Arthur MOC Procedure (PA-020-0029) for further
guidance regarding Risk Levels.

3. SCOPE

This procedure applies to new or modified facilities performed at mechanical completion

prior to startup or the introduction of regulated PSM/RMP chemicals.

4.1. PSSR Initiation (Change Manager Tab 6)

Determining if a PSSR is Required
A PSSR is required for all new facilities including equipment) and modified
facilities when the modification is significant enough to require a change in the
process safety information.

4.2. The PSSR can be categorized by the risk level assessment found in Tab 3 of the
MOC Change Manager database as determined either by the Risk Level
Assessment tool or Mode of Failure Analysis. Risk levels are defined in Section
2.4.

4. PROCEDURE cont’d

4.3. Assembling the PSSR Team Members

Right before Startup, the Change Coordinator (or Project Manager for Capital
Projects) is responsible for organizing and conducting a PSSR with the
appropriate team members. A PSSR team may consist of representatives from
the following departments:
 EHS Team Member
 Project Engineer/Manager
 Operations/Process Engineer
 Process Technician
 Manufacturing Representative
 Maintenance Representative
 Unit Operator
 I&E Engineer

During the hazard review, the PSSR team scope should be identified. For
minor modifications (Level 1 (low or no risk)), a minimum of two people can
perform the PSSR. I n a l l c a s e s , t he PSSR team members must be
documented in Tab 6.

Please note that the PSSR Team Members list in Change Manager
incorrectly references long form use. This section should be used to
record team members for Short Form PSSRs as well.

4.4. Which PSSR Form to Use

Risk Level 1 – Short form PSSR is required
Risk Level 2 – Short form PSSR is required, Long Form Optional.
Risk Level 3 – Long Form PSSRs are required.
Risk Level 4 – Long Form PSSRs are required.

In addition, the PSSR Long Form is required for all Capital Projects. For
Capital Projects, see the corporate procedure, Corporate Procedure
BC032.013 Ecology & Safety Project Reviews, for additional guidance.

“Short form” refers to the PSSR checklist that is built into tab 4 of the
Change Manager module. “Long form” refers to the Site PSSR Long Form
checklist (Attachment A). When the “Long form” is used, it must be attached to
the MOC in Tab 6 or file location referenced. The PSSR “Long Form” should be
modified (items added) to address the scope of the change as appropriate.

4. PROCEDURE cont’d

4.5. Preparing for the PSSR

An initial review of the PSSR documentation should occur early on in the
process/project (hazard review team or capital project review team can do this)
so action items can be appropriately assigned in the Action Tracker system
with sufficient time for completion prior to the date of the PSSR and field
walkthrough (when required).

 DETERMINING IF A WALKTHROUGH IS REQUIRED

Schedule the field verification walkthrough. Walkthroughs are required for

every MOC that results in observable changes. Changes that do not result in
physical modifications to the unit (ie. Interlock additions, DCS programming
changes, SABL program modifications, etc) do not require a walkthrough. For
example, piping modifications and observable DCS changes will require a field
walkthrough.

4.6. Responsibilities of the PSSR Team

The PSSR team should review the status of any action items/open issues from
the MOC, Step 3, PHA, or EHS reviews with the team. In addition, the status of
existing PSSR action items should be reviewed.

4.6.1. The team should perform a walkthrough (if applicable) of the

implemented change. During this walkthrough, any deficiencies or “open
items” should be noted. These deficiencies should be assigned action
items in Tab 4. It is not preferred to use the walkthrough “punch list” on
Tab 6, as action items can’t be assigned here.

4.6.2. The PSSR Team shall consist of the following:

A. For Level 1 & 2 (Low & Medium) changes, the team will consist of a
minimum of two qualified personel approved by the Responsible
Manager or delegate.

B. For Level 3 & 4 (High & Critical) changes, the team will be made up of
a minimum of four representatives consisting of operations (both
exempt and non-exempt), subject matter expert(s) (exempt or non-
exempt), and safety. Other applicable departments including but not
limited to engineering, instrument, electrical, mechanical, and
operations management and/or process technician may be designated
by the area Responsible Manager.

C. For all capital engineering projects, the team will be made up of the
required team for the Level 3 & 4 change plus the project manager and
will follow the PSSR Long Form regardless of risk level.

4.6.3. The PSSR team should verify that all items marked as “Pre- Startup”
items, including those under “Items to complete prior to startup” on Tab
4 and the informing/training of employees as designated/documented in
Tab 5, has been completed or appropriately addressed. Additionally, the
team should verify that the technical basis for the proposed change has
been accurately documented on Tab 1, the impact of the change on
safety and health and the reviewers have been documented in Tab 3,
( i f a p p l i c a b l e ) the modifications to operating procedures and P&ID
redlines have been completed, and that the necessary time period for the
change has been documented (if temporary). Further, the team shall
verify the following:
 Construction and equipment is in accordance with
design specifications;
 Safety, operating, maintenance, and emergency procedures
are in place and are adequate;
 For new facilities/stationary sources, a process hazard
analysis (which meets PSM/RMP regulatory expectations for
regulated facilities) has been performed and
recommendations have been resolved or implemented before
startup; and modified stationary sources meet the
requirements contained in management of change; and,
 Training of each employee involved in operating a process
has been completed.

4.6.4. The PSSR Team shall assign the startup date and time on Tab 6. This
must be done before the MOC/PSSR can be sent to the final approvers.
If this date and time changes after final approval is given, it is the
responsibility of the Change Coordinator to update the date and time
as appropriate. Additionally, the Change Coordinator should verbally or
electronically notify all those trained/informed of the change of the
official date and startup change.

4.6. Responsibilities of the PSSR Team cont’d

4.6.5. Once all open items designated as “pre-startup” items are complete, the
MOC is routed to the Unit Final Approver for approval to startup. This is
the final assurance that all “before startup” items planned have been
implemented, and that all process safety information, all operating
procedures, all training, and any other regulatory compliance
documentation has been properly updated or triggered to be updated.

4.7. PSSR Action Item Tracking

Incorrect or Incomplete Items

If, during the PSSR process, incorrect or incomplete items are found by the PSSR
team, they may be divided into two groups:
 Items that must be completed or corrected before the process can
safely startup.
 Items that may be completed after the process starts up.
The completion dates for both pre and post startup cases must be
included in Action Tracker.

4.8. Startup
Upon completion of all pre-startup action items, the MOC form is forwarded to the
Responsible Manager of the area for approval to implement and startup the
change.

4.9. After Startup

The Project Manager or MOC Change Coordinator as appropriate, shall ensure
that the “after startup” action items are completed by the target date.

4.10. PSSR Closeout

4.10.1. The PSSR will be closed when all before and after start-up items are
completed.

4.10.2. The location of any associated supporting documentation applicable to the

items in the PSSR checklist shall be noted on the PSSR checklist or
attached to the completed PSSR. Action Items will be managed in Action
Tracker. PSSR Documentation should be maintained with the associated
MOC (Short Form in Change Manager) or Long Form PSSR attached to
the MOC. If the PSSR Long form is not an attachment, the location should
be referenced in the MOC (e.g. Capital Project Job book files).
