Description
This webinar explains the essential elements required to keep relief system design documentation accurate, current, and compliant throughout the life of a facility. The presenters discuss why evergreening is critical for safety, PSM compliance, audit readiness, and operational decision making. The session highlights the challenges facilities face when PSI is outdated or dispersed, and outlines the workflows, training, ownership structures, and tools needed to maintain reliable relief and flare system documentation.
Key Topics Covered
- OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 requirements for PSI and relief system design basis
- API 520 and API 521 expectations for relief and vent system documentation
- Drivers for maintaining accurate PSI including safety, compliance, reliability, and business optimization
- Common challenges such as data fragmentation, outdated HMBs, poor MOC workflows, and limited SME knowledge
- Trigger events that require updates to relief and flare design basis
- Core elements of an evergreening program including single point ownership, workflows, training, and tools
- Case studies demonstrating costs associated with outdated PSI and benefits of evergreen programs
What You’ll Learn
- How to recognize operational, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation changes that trigger relief documentation updates
- How to design MOC workflows that ensure relief and flare impacts are consistently evaluated
- How roles such as safeguarding engineers or relief system SMEs provide site wide accountability
- How to develop a training program that builds competency in PSI management and API standards
- How electronic PSI systems such as Salus support accuracy, access, and long term evergreening
- How KPIs and periodic audits help verify that documentation remains compliant and reliable
Who This Webinar Is For
PSM managers, process engineers, operations leaders, reliability teams, mechanical integrity personnel, and anyone involved in relief system design, PSI management, or MOC review across refining, chemical, natural gas, and petrochemical facilities.
