Stakeholder Engagement

CCPS RBPS Element 1.5 STAKEHOLDERS OUTREACH

Having good relationships with appropriate stakeholders over the life of a facility is one of the five elements in the Commit to Process Safety Pillar (Foundational Block.)

Stakeholder outreach is a process for;

(1) seeking out individuals or organizations that can be or believe they can be affected by company operations and engaging them in a dialogue about process safety,
(2) establishing a relationship with community organizations, other companies and professional groups, and local, state, and federal authorities, and
(3) providing accurate information about the company and facility’s products, processes, plans, hazards, and risks.

This process ensures that management makes relevant process safety information available to a variety of organizations. This element also encourages the sharing of relevant information and lessons learned with similar facilities within the company and with other companies in the industry group.

Finally, the outreach element promotes involvement of the facility in the local community and facilitates communication of information and facility activities that could affect the community.
