Abstract
Chemical safety and process safety continue to garner significant media attention around the United States as chemical and process safety events continue to occur. OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard and EPA’s Risk Management Program (RMP) standard provide a framework for preventing unwanted release of highly hazardous chemicals. It is also important to note that these are performance standards, meaning that regulated processes are told what the goal (unwanted release) is, not how to meet it. OSHA began a PSM National Emphasis Program (NEP) for Petroleum Refineries in June of 2007 and later implemented an additional PSM National Emphasis Program for Chemical Facilities in November of 2011. Enforcement data shows key trends and areas where both EPA and OSHA focus their efforts. This paper will review the key enforcement trends for PSM and RMP regulated processes, provide some best practices for ensuring process safety is a way of life, and review actual and potential regulatory activity resulting from Executive Order 13650 Improving Chemical Facility Safety and Security.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
