Technical Safety and Process Safety are terms commonly used in the process industries to describe the safety requirements related to the design and operation of hazardous processes. Technical Safety comprises a set of discrete elements that are applied in the field of risk analysis and management to help identify, understand and evaluate risks, and to specify solutions necessary to reduce risks levels as low as reasonably practicable. These elements can be applied as standalone or collective tools or techniques to achieve design or operational integrity and assurance.
Technical safety studies are undertaken for offshore and onshore process facilities throughout the project lifecycle, from concept selection to the operational phase. As the lifecycle progresses, the level of information about a facility increases, enabling more detailed risk assessment. However, the opportunity for making changes to the facility is greater at earlier stages of the project.

Technical safety studies provide essential information that feeds into a quantitative risk assessment and HSSE / safety case. Recommendations made during the course of these studies are implemented within the design or operation, where practicable, to ensure risks are being managed to acceptable levels.
With its vast and varying range of complicated codes and stringent standards, technical safety can be difficult to fully understand let alone fully achieve. As these regulations become even stricter, companies need a clear, comprehensible regulatory outlook to keep workers safe and operations compliant.
Considerations for technical safety reach beyond maintaining machinery. Today, companies are required to ensure that workers can perform work in a safe manner through meeting various machine and tool safety regulations, electrical codes, and OSHA safe procedures standards.
