Process Safety Management (PSM) Program Roll-Out and Health Check Services
We deliver PSM Program Roll-Out and Health Check services, aligned with either the 20 Elements of Risk-Based Process Safety defined by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) or the 14 PSM Elements outlined by OSHA. Our consultants provide end-to-end support across the full engagement, from procedure development and audits to enhancement recommendations and training.
What Is a PSM Program Roll-Out and Health Check?
A PSM roll-out is the development and implementation of a PSM program, whether that means building one from the ground up or strengthening an existing one. It results in the procedures, training, and implementation plan a client needs to operate the program going forward. A PSM health check is an audit of an existing program, specific elements, or procedures, to identify gaps and improvement opportunities. It results in a gap assessment report benchmarked against the CCPS or OSHA framework the organization has adopted. Organizations use the two together: a health check to establish where the current program stands, followed by a roll-out or enhancement proposal to close the gaps it uncovers.
What Do These Services Cover?
- PSM Program Roll-Out: Consultation and implementation support for the comprehensive roll-out of a PSM program, starting with helping the organization select between the CCPS 20 Elements or OSHA 14 Elements based on its regulatory exposure and program maturity.
- PSM Audits and Health Checks: Audit and health check services for an existing PSM program, specific elements, or procedures, to identify gaps and improvement opportunities.
- Enhancement Proposals: Recommendations to strengthen an existing PSM program, specific elements, or procedures, based on industry best practices and regulatory expectations.
- Training and Capacity Building: Targeted training to build staff competency to deliver an effective PSM program, from leadership to frontline personnel.
Why Do Organizations Need a PSM Roll-Out or Health Check?
A PSM program that exists only as a policy document does little to prevent major accidents. Organizations either need to build a program where none exists, or need an independent check on whether an existing program is being followed as intended. Wellkinetics consultants review current operating procedures, identify where they fall short of the framework the organization has adopted, and support implementation of the changes needed to close those gaps.

- Structured, Transparent Engagement Process: Every engagement follows the same three-step process: an initial consultation and assessment to define scope, a tailored proposal outlining approach and deliverables for the client to confirm before work begins, and implementation with regular check-ins to track progress against objectives.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a PSM health check evaluate?
A PSM health check audits an existing program, specific elements, or procedures against the framework the organization has adopted, whether that is the CCPS 20 Elements or the OSHA 14 Elements. It looks at existing documentation and operating procedures and how consistently they are followed in practice, then identifies gaps and improvement opportunities.
Should we align our PSM program with CCPS or OSHA?
Wellkinetics is equipped to implement either the 20 Elements defined by CCPS or the 14 Elements defined by OSHA, depending on the client’s regulatory requirements, appetite, and desired level of robustness.
How long does PSM implementation take?
Implementation timelines typically range from 9 to 12 months depending on facility complexity, existing systems, and resource availability. Wellkinetics uses a phased approach that delivers quick wins early while building a sustainable program.
Can Wellkinetics support the program after roll-out?
Yes, through PSM Implementation Support and Hypercare, a retainer-based arrangement where Wellkinetics consultants continue to mentor and coach client personnel after the initial roll-out is complete, reinforcing good practice and strengthening long-term ownership of the program.
