29 CFR 1910.119(i) requires verification that your facility is ready before hazardous chemicals arrive. We execute that verification with discipline.
Under 29 CFR 1910.119(i), employers must perform a pre-startup safety review for new facilities and modified facilities where the modification is significant enough to require a change in the process safety information. The PSSR must confirm that construction matches design specs, procedures are in place, PHA recommendations are resolved, and training is complete.
PSSR failures occur when the review is treated as a checkbox at the end of a project — rushed to meet a startup date, with action items left open. We build the PSSR into the project schedule early so it's never a last-minute scramble.
§1910.119(i) citations typically cite: no documented PSSR, PSSR performed but incomplete, PHA recommendations not closed before startup, procedures not finalized, or training records missing.
PSSR scope definition at FEED stage. Checklist development from project PSI. Responsibility matrix. Integration into project schedule — not bolted on at the end.
P&ID field verification. Safety-critical instrument loop checks. Relief device installation and tagging. Mechanical integrity baseline inspections completed.
Formal PSSR completion documentation. Multi-discipline sign-off. Ready-for-startup certification. OSHA-compliant record retained per §1910.119.
