PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST TEMPLATE A Process Safety Management (PSM) Checklist is a structured list of questions or checkpoints used to evaluate whether key process safety elements are in place and functioning effectively. It typically covers areas such as chemical hazard information, operating procedures, training, management of change, emergency preparedness, and documentation. The checklist helps teams verify that risks are identified, controls are implemented, and safety-critical information such as Safety Data Sheets (SDS) is accurate and accessible. Regular use of a checklist strengthens compliance with process safety regulations, improves audit readiness, and promotes a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. 01 PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST A Process Safety Checklist is useful for a wide range of roles and industries, EHS and Product Safety professionals managing chemical risks and SDS compliance Plant and operations managers responsible for safe daily operations Quality and compliance teams preparing for audits and inspections Manufacturing, FMCG, and chemical companies handling hazardous substances Entry-level safety professionals who need a clear, structured way to assess process safety Note: The templates/guides in our Content Library were created by the SDS Manager Team to help you manage site operations effectively.
