Abstract
E-governance (digital solutions) is the new norm in delivering numerous government services from government to citizens, businesses, institutions, and even other governments across all industry segments. One important application of digital solutions, in the governance space, can potentially be to comprehensively audit and intermittently monitor compliance of process plants with the regional process safety management (PSM) regulations. This presentation unveils the idea of an e-governance PSM solution that will potentially enable the relevant regulatory bodies around the world to seamlessly monitor and intermittently audit the process safety management (PSM) compliance through a digital solution. The presentation builds on an earlier research study conducted on key issues faced by various process safety regulatory bodies and process plant facilities with the non-digital method of process safety and other environmental compliance programs. The multi-enterprise technology framework, solution architecture of the proposed e-governance solution along with UML (unified modeling language) diagrams outlining the key functionalities and modules of this new digital solution are described. The e-governance process safety management (PSM) solution aims to remedy the perceived inequity in good governance, process safety rights and operational excellence for process plant facilities on a global scale.
