The Bhopal tragedy of 1984 at a Union Carbide pesticide plant in India killed thousands of people. The incident resulted from multiple safety failures: contaminated methyl isocyanate (MIC) storage, disabled safety systems and poor plant management. It led to significant changes in process safety, including the development of OSHA's Process Safety Management standard, the Center for Chemical Process Safety, and international safety directives like the Seveso protocol. Chemical engineer Ramin Abhari has created graphic novels to communicate the lessons learned, emphasizing the importance of inherently safer design, proper management of change and maintaining critical safety systems during plant decommissioning.
The standard's industry-agnostic approach, its potential to influence global PSM practices and its role in setting benchmarks for organizations not covered by traditional legislation will impact safety practices worldwide. In this episode, Trish & Traci discuss the Canadian Process Safety Management (PSM) standard CSA Z767, the world's first national PSM standard. Adrian Pierorazio and Parnian Jadidian — part of the team that crafted the standard — explain its development, starting as a guideline and evolving into a national standard to provide a unified framework for PSM across various industries in Canada. The standard was updated in 2024 to incorporate industry feedback and expand key sections.
In this episode, we explore with Ian Travers the fundamentals of hazard identification and risk assessment to determine or review the control measures needed to protect against process safety hazards.

Joining us for this weeks conversation is the highly respected and regarded Ken Bloch. Ken speaks to us about process safety, gives us some insights into what he has learned during his extensive time in the process safety field and reminds us of the consequences when things go wrong. The Bhopal disaster happened nearly 40 years ago yet it is rarely spoken about in safety circles. Thousands of deaths, many more people left with serious long term injuries and illnesses this is the very human face of catastrophic failures in a safety system. Kenneth Bloch is a senior EHS professional who specializes in petrochemical industry incident investigation and failure analysis. He has nearly 40 years of experience in plant maintenance, Process Safety Management, technical, and operations roles. He speaks regularly at AFPM, API, and AIChE process safety symposiums about experiences that help prevent recurring process safety failures throughout the manufacturing industry. Ken is the author of the book Rethinking Bhopal which uses modern references to chronicle the sequence of events that led to history's worst industrial disaster. He graduated with honors from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, with an Environmental Science Degree in 1988.

OSHA defines Process Safety Management through 14 interlinked and interdependent elements; each is related and necessary to make up the entire PSM picture. So our first season is an overview, with each episode dedicated to one of the 14 elements. However, from there, Seasons 2, 3, 4, etc. will focus solely on one 1 of the 14 elements. So next season (which is coming very soon) has 14 episodes dedicated only to “Incident Investigations.” Season 3 will have 14 episodes dedicated to Process Hazard Analysis, and so on and so forth. So from Keith, Dick, Katherine, and the rest of the process safety experts at Smith & Burgess, we hope that “The Insights into the Elements of Process Safety Podcast” is as entertaining as it is informative and educational.
