Process Safety Management under 29 CFR 1910.119 is not a program — it's an operating system. Fourteen interrelated elements from employee participation to compliance audits, each with its own deadlines, evidence requirements, and revalidation cycles. PHAs must be revalidated every five years, compliance audits every three years, employee refresher training every three years, operating procedures certified annually, incident investigations initiated within 48 hours, and mechanical integrity inspections run on manufacturer and RAGAGEP schedules. Miss any one and the audit finds it. Manage it in binders and spreadsheets and something always slips — the MOC that was approved but never trained on, the mechanical integrity inspection that was scheduled but never done, the PHA action item still open from the last revalidation. Managing the full PSM lifecycle in one auditable platform is what turns 1910.119 from a paperwork burden into a working control system. iFactory's PSM Lifecycle Management holds every element to its cadence.
iFactory PSM Lifecycle Management
14 Elements. 1 Platform. Every Deadline Tracked.
Manage the full PSM lifecycle under 29 CFR 1910.119 — PHAs, MOC, mechanical integrity, pre-startup safety reviews, incident investigations, and compliance audits in one auditable system.
Where PSM Programs Actually Slip
PSM programs rarely fail at any one element — they fail at the connections between elements. An MOC approves a change; the training on that change never happens. A PHA generates action items; half stay open at revalidation. iFactory closes those gaps.
Fragmented PSM
"Did we ever close that PHA action from 2022?"
PHA action items open years after the study
MOC approved but never trained on the shop floor
Mechanical integrity schedules kept in the maintenance planner's head
Pre-startup reviews signed but not linked to the MOC
Lifecycle PSM
"Every element on cadence, every action tracked."
PHA action items tracked to closure like any CAPA
MOC changes drive training, PSSR, and mechanical integrity updates
MI inspections on manufacturer and RAGAGEP schedules with alerts
Pre-startup reviews linked to the MOC that triggered them
The Elements That Get Cited
Not all 14 PSM elements draw the same citation risk. iFactory covers all fourteen, but these are the ones auditors reach for first.
PHA
Process Hazard Analysis revalidated at least every 5 years per 1910.119(e)(6), with actions tracked to closure.
Cadence: 5-year revalidation
MOC
Management of Change reviewed and approved before implementation, with training and PSI updates linked.
Cadence: per change
Mechanical Integrity
Inspections per manufacturer schedules and RAGAGEP for pressure vessels, piping, relief systems, and controls.
Cadence: RAGAGEP-based
Training
Refresher training at least every 3 years per 1910.119(g)(2), documented per worker with verification.
Cadence: every 3 years
Compliance Audits
Certified compliance audit at least every 3 years per 1910.119(o) with findings tracked to closure.
Cadence: every 3 years
What Lifecycle PSM Actually Does
The 14 elements are not 14 separate programs — they're one control loop. A working PSM platform enforces the connections that make the loop close.
Track
Every element on its regulatory cadence — 5-year PHA, 3-year audit, annual procedure certification, per-change MOC — visible on one dashboard.
Connect
MOC drives training, PSSR, and mechanical integrity; PHAs drive CAPAs; incidents drive PHA revalidation. The links are enforced.
Prove
Every element carries the evidence an auditor needs — signatures, dates, attendance, inspection reports, closure records.
Alert
Deadlines fire alerts weeks and days out so PHA revalidations, compliance audits, and training refreshers never lapse.
What PSM Lifecycle Management Delivers
When 14 PSM elements run on one platform with their connections enforced, compliance audits stop being an event and become a routine of showing what was already tracked.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the platform handle PHA revalidation on the 5-year cycle?
Every PHA has its revalidation date tracked with alerts firing well before the 5-year mark. Action items from the previous study are tracked to closure and rolled forward into the revalidation scope so no open item survives quietly across cycles. The revalidation team gets the current PSI, prior findings, and closure evidence in one workspace.
Can MOC actually drive training and PSSR automatically?
Yes — that's the connection PSM programs most often miss. When an MOC is approved, iFactory identifies the workers affected and the training required, schedules the training, and requires the Pre-Startup Safety Review to reference the MOC before the change can go live. The change doesn't leave the workflow until every dependent element is closed.
How does mechanical integrity scheduling work?
Every covered piece of equipment — pressure vessels, piping, relief systems, controls, emergency shutdown — has its inspection cadence set per manufacturer recommendation or the applicable RAGAGEP standard. Inspections are scheduled, executed, and documented with the results feeding both the MI record and the PHA update where relevant.
Does it track compliance audit findings to closure?
Yes. The triennial compliance audit under 1910.119(o) produces findings that must be addressed. iFactory routes each finding into the same CAPA workflow as other corrective actions, with owner, due date, and verification, so at the next triennial audit no finding from the last one is still open.

Can we start with one facility or one PSM element?
Yes. Many operations start with a single facility, or with a single element such as MOC or mechanical integrity, prove the lifecycle discipline there, then extend across elements and sites. Book a demo and we'll scope the starting point around your operation.
