Integrating safety management systems in hydrogen production facilities

This paper explores integrating a comprehensive safety management system into hydrogen production facilities, emphasizing the critical importance of safety given the associated risks, including high pressures, flammability, and potential for leaks. A robust chemical safety management system (CSMS) tool is introduced, which is designed to significantly enhance safety protocols by providing structured frameworks for hazard identification, real-time onitoring, predictive analytics, and regulatory compliance tracking. Quantitative analyses conducted at actual hydrogen facilities demonstrate a 60 % reduction in safety incidents, a 16.7 % improvement in regulatory compliance scores, and a 42.5 % enhancement in operational response efficiency following CSMS implementation. This paper establishes the superiority and critical improvements provided by integrating this advanced CSMS through detailed case studies, real-world applications, and comparative analysis. The results underscore the tangible benefits, including improved incident management, reduced operational risks, and more substantial alignment with national and international safety standards, highlighting the system's essential role in sustainable hydrogen production.
