The compilation of written process safety information is to enable the employer and the employees involved
in operating the process to identify and understand the hazards posed by those processes involving highly
hazardous chemicals. This process safety information shall include information pertaining to the hazards of
the highly hazardous chemicals used or produced by the process, information pertaining to the technology of
the process, and information pertaining to the equipment in the process.
(1)
Information pertaining to the hazards of the highly hazardous chemicals in the process. This information
shall consist of at least the following:
(i)
Toxicity information;
(ii)
Permissible exposure limits;
(iii)
Physical data;
(iv)
(v)
Corrosivity data;
(vi)
Thermal and chemical stability data; and
(vii)
Hazardous effects of inadvertent mixing of different materials that could foreseeably occur.
Note:
Material Safety Data Sheets meeting the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1200(g) may be used to comply with

(i)
Information concerning the technology of the process shall include at least the following:
(A)
A block flow diagram or simplified process flow diagram (see Appendix B to this section);
(B)
Process chemistry;
(C)
Maximum intended inventory;
(D)
Safe upper and lower limits for such items as temperatures, pressures, flows or
(E)
An evaluation of the consequences of deviations, including those affecting the safety and health of employ-
ees.
(ii)
Where the original technical information no longer exists, such information may be developed in
conjunction with the process hazard analysis in sufficient detail to support the analysis.
(3) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process.
(i) Information pertaining to the equipment in the process shall include:
(A)
Materials of construction;
(B)
Piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs);
(C)
Electrical classification;
(D)
Relief system design and design basis;
(E)
Ventilation system design;
(F)
Design codes and standards employed;
(G)
