Process safety is a key component of our EH&S program. It has been in existence at Air Products since the mid-1970s, when we first introduced and implemented process hazards analyses for both engineering projects and operating facilities. Since that time, our process safety programs have grown to include all aspects of process safety management. Over the years, we have evolved into an industry leader in process safety and have provided both financial and direct support to many external organizations such as the AIChE Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), the International Process Safety Group (IPSG) and various other trade associations such as the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and the Compressed Gas Association (CGA). To support many of our process safety initiatives and programs, we have developed our own internal training courses in process safety in Process Hazards Analysis, Quantitative Fault Tree Analysis, Consequence Analysis, and HAZOP.

• We have a commitment to ensure our processes and products are designed to minimize risks from potential process safety incidents.
• We also have a commitment to ensure our operating facilities and the delivery of our products to customers are conducted in a safe and responsible manner.
