Methodology for Implementation of Process Safety Management into Experiment Life Cycle

Abstract

The presented work deals with experiments in laboratories that solve practical problems. Each experi-ment is a process that takes place under certain conditions, which significantly influence its results. Re-sults of experiment are further influenced by the quality of: inputs; technical and cyber equipment; con-trol; and the knowledge, experience and skills of personnel. Therefore, experiments supporting the prac-tice must be carried out using a methodology that ensures that the results always are of required quality. Process safety management, which is based on management of risks connected with process, has proven itself in practice. Therefore, we apply its principles into experiment life cycle. Paper shows methodology of process safety managements in experiments and its main part, i.e. prototypal checklist for evaluation of both, the partial risks and the integrated risk of experiment.
