Process safety management (PSM) is all about operational risk management – minimising your exposure to risk, incidents, and non-compliance.

Experience you can trust

At ABL, our expert PSM team rely on decades of experience to ensure your compliance with safety regulations. This ranges from the identification of safety and environmentally critical elements (SECE) across millions of equipment tags, to the development of performance standards for international clients across multiple industries.

As the technical authors of global suites of performance standards for oil and gas majors, we are well-positioned to provide process safety management services that help our clients identify and implement risk mitigation tactics, designed to safeguard production and minimise operational expenditure.
