The PSSR is a safety review conducted prior to startup (commissioning) of a new or modified
processing/manufacturing plant or facility to ensure that installations meet the original design or
operating intent, to catch and re-assess any potential hazard due to changes during the detailed
engineering and construction phase of a project. In other words, it ensures the “Ready for Start-
up” status of process facility/units.
A Pre Startup Safety Review covers not only equipment, but also procedures and training.
To ensure that installation meets the original design and operating intent of process
plant/facility
To ensure safety, operating, maintenance and emergency procedures are in place and
adequate
To ensure appropriate safety reviews during engineering phase (HAZOP study, model
review etc.) have been carried out and all action items have been completed
To ensure any site modifications during construction phase have been properly
controlled and noted
To ensure training of each employee involved in the operating process is completed
In addition, the pre startup safety review plays an important role in large projects as it may give
plant operators the authority to refuse or accept responsibility for a plant or equipment that they
judge to be unsafe through the PSSR.
Following activities should be carried out in a PSSR with coordination between Contractor and
Owner of the plant / facilities:
2. Documentation Review:
The documentation review is to check the availability and status of operating manuals, start-
up/shutdown and emergency procedures.
Operating manuals/procedures
Emergency procedures
Instruction of handling of chemicals
Operation checklists on safety equipment
Safeguarding Memorandum
As-built P&IDs/PFDs
Area Classification drawings, Plot Plans
Fire Protection drawings
3. Technical HSE Site Review: could be carried out when the construction is nearing
mechanical completion (about 90-95 % completion) and the site is reasonably accessible.
