Concepts Tasks Settings Safety Management Contents Introduction to Safety Management Creating Safety Management Objects Working with Safety Management Objects APM safety management functionality helps organizations analyze and monitor equipment systems and processes with the goal of protecting the health and safety of their workforces, local communities, and the environment. It is designed to help companies remain compliant with current local, national, and regional legislation, as well as industry best practices. APM provides these safety management objects: • Safety provisions describe the systems and processes that are put in place to prevent or mitigate a hazard. This includes: • Protective devices that prevent or mitigate safety hazards and the equipment that they protect. • Override definitions that identify the procedure and processes to follow when a safety device (for example, a tank’s shut-off valve) fails. • Override incidents are reported when a safety device fails. Each one includes an incident report and recommendations, planning information, log of the actions performed during the incident, follow-up work documents, and requested extensions. This section explains how to create and work with each type of safety management object.
