Stay informed about recent updates to the API facility siting standards. Learn about the changes in this webinar. The American Petroleum Institute (API) has recently issued updates of its facility siting standards: recommended practices (RP) 752, 753, and 756. These standards cover the management of hazards associated with the location of process plant permanent buildings (RP 752), portable buildings (RP 753), and tents (RP 756). These updates expand the guidance and requirements on operators to safely site personnel in occupied buildings at PSM covered facilities. Maintaining a proactive approach is crucial for ensuring the safety and operational efficiency of a facility. This webinar offers a summary of the updated standards, outlines the changes you need to know, and discusses solutions to meet the new guidance and requirements. Colin Armstrong, Principal Engineer and Group Leader of Quantitative Risk Services at AcuTech, and Rich MacNguyen, Senior Engineer, Quantitative Risk Services discuss the changes to the RPs. They also address the potential impact on your facility siting studies, leveraging our engagement on the API Facility Siting Committee.
