Responsible Care
Process Safety Forum
General information
The purpose of the Responsible Care Process Safety Forum is to provide
an opportunity for member companies to assist one another by sharing best
practice and pooling resources with specific benefit to smaller companies who
don’t have the necessary resources for training. The Forum has undertaken
to keep CAIA members informed about Process Safety issues and to discuss and
share experiences and concerns arising from incidents. All CAIA members are
welcome. Every meeting is kicked off with a “Safety Moment” where a
major Process Safety related incident is discussed and the learning’s
shared with the members. The Forum meets quarterly and meeting invitation is
circulated via the ChemNews.
