Process Safety Improvement Plan

This guidance sets out an eight-step framework to help organisations strengthen process safety leadership and turn intent into practical action. Developed using UK HSE inspection insights and industry experience, it supports a more structured and consistent approach to managing major hazard risk.

The framework helps organisations identify priorities, engage the workforce, and focus on the activities that make the biggest difference to safety performance. It is designed to support measurable improvement while reinforcing accountability, learning and effective control of major accident hazards.
