We are experienced in the thirteen parts of Process Safety Management, as required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119, and can provide expert assistance with your program, particularly with conducting Process Safety Reviews aka Process Hazard Reviews. We are also experienced and ready to assist with the development of RAGAGEP programs to meet new requirements by OSHA officials.
RAGAGEP is an acronym for "Recognized
And Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices"‚
and is specific language in Federal Statutes from OSHA and EPA, and is also
mentioned in the American Chemistry Council (ACC) Responsible Care
Process Safety Code.
"Inspection and testing procedures shall follow recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices." [EPA 40 CFR 68, part 68.56 (d)]
"The employer shall document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices." [OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 (D) (3) (ii)]
"Each member
company shall have an ongoing process safety program that includes... Facility
design, construction, and maintenance using sound engineering practices
consistent with recognized codes and standards." [American Chemistry Council
(ACC) Responsible Care
Process Safety Code, Management Practices for Facilities]
What should the Owner do to meet the requirements for conformance?
Assure that RAGAGEP's are used in the design and construction of new facilities and provide initial baseline documentation.
Investigate, develop, implement, and document applicable RAGAGEP's for existing facilities, particularly if the facility uses Highly Hazardous Chemicals or other hazardous materials or processes.
Please CONTACT US for assistance with:
Recommend what RAGAGEP's that the Owner should use.
Assist in assembling RAGAGEP documentation.
Develop RAGAGEP implementation plans.
Perform engineering to provide baseline RAGAGEP documentation.
Write contract bid packages to insure that the construction meets applicable RAGAGEP's.
Develop inspection and testing programs.
Perform suitability for service evaluations.
Develop uniform plant Piping Specification with service index.
We would appreciate the opportunity to assist you in setting up an efficient and cost effective RAGAGEP program.
Please Contact Us if we can scope and execute a project for you.
