Development of a new holistic process safety management system model based on business continuity and organizational resilience standards

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to develop a new holistic process safety management system model based on business continuity and organizational resilience standards. Existing processes and functions were evaluated in terms of business continuity and organizational resilience, potential risks to which the organization was exposed were identified and effective strategies were developed against these risks. The model design, determined by combining organizational resilience and process safety strategies through business continuity, was included in a holistic management system model. Business continuity, on the other hand, combines organizational resilience and process safety strategies and incorporates the model design into a holistic management system model. The relationship between the Safety Management System (SMS) components related to process safety and the features of organizational resilience and business continuity management systems standards was analyzed using Quality Function Deployment (QFD). Through the analysis, the importance ranking of the requirements of both standards was determined and their integration with the criteria of the existing SMS elements was ensured. With the model, it will be possible to determine the main objectives of the organization, to understand the expectations of internal and external stakeholders and to combine business continuity, resilience and safety strategies in accordance with these expectations. In addition, it is foreseen that the resilience of industrial organizations against process accidents will be increased and organizations will gain more effective preparation and recovery capability.
