We're not just PSM consultants, we're refrigeration engineers.
Innovative brings PSM specialists, refrigeration engineers, and field service teams together to keep your program current, your priorities clear, and your refrigeration system safe and reliable.
Process Safety Management for Ammonia Refrigeration
Our PSM services are designed for industries utilizing ammonia refrigeration systems, ensuring they meet safety and compliance requirements. We offer individual services as well as complete PSM program management.
MI Inspections are mandatory audits that include a thorough analysis of the entire refrigeration system done every five years.
Ultrasonic NDTs are valuable for all industrial refrigeration facilities and are typically part of a five-year MI inspection.
Review of all OSHA Process Safety Management & EPA Risk Management Plan documentation and practices.
Required every five years, a Process Hazard Analysis assesses worst-case and alternative release scenarios and their potential off-site impacts.
ANSI/IIAR 9-2020 sets essential safety and design standards for closed-circuit industrial refrigeration systems.
Complete Hazard Assessment and RMP submission.
Verify and update P&ID diagrams for current systems, and create new ones for new equipment.
Diagram of basic flow of refrigerant through each piece of equipment within the refrigeration system.
• Material & Energy Balance
• Ammonia Charge Calculation
• Relief Line Calculation
• Ventilation Calculation
Comprehensive review of audit findings and on-site support for forthcoming EPA and OSHA audits.
Creation of all required MOC documentation and assistance with compliance.
Includes National Board U-1/U-3 Data Forms, and Manufacturer drawings, submittals, and manuals.
Detailed Standard Operating Procedures written to meet the requirements of IIAR-7.
Written for each piece of equipment to safely isolate or shut down for maintenance.
Available for delivery through virtual platforms or in-person sessions.
Comprehensive list of all equipment including valves with line names and operating positions.
PSM pressure builds faster than most teams can resolve it
Scattered records, inconsistent site practices, and growing corrective-action backlogs leave facility teams overwhelmed and corporate leaders without a clear picture.
Deadlines That Never Stop Coming
Overdue PHA corrective actions, missed PSM audits, and SOP refresher training that never seem to end.
Documentation That Can't Keep Up
PSI/P&IDs out of date, stale SOPs, undocumented training, recordkeeping scattered across binders and spreadsheets.
Risk You Can't See Across Sites
Distributed liability, no enterprise view. Every facility runs PSM differently and corporate champions can't see it all.
We bring engineering depth to find your PSM/RMP gaps and the field expertise to close them.

One connected PSM ecosystem
IRTC helps your internal champions understand the systems, responsibilities, and requirements they manage, while ePSM centralizes records, recurring tasks, corrective actions, and accountability in a purpose-built PSM platform.
Training with the Industrial Refrigeration Technical College means learning from the same experts who build and support the systems in the field, at a RETA Network Testing Center.
ePSM is a cloud-based process safety management platform purpose-built to ensure your enterprise is worry-free when it comes to regulatory compliance.
Frequently asked questions
Process Safety Management (PSM) is essential for maintaining safety and compliance in industries handling hazardous chemicals. Get professional help from our industrial refrigeration engineers and PSM consultants.
Yes. Requirements vary by state, but even systems under 10,000 lbs. must follow Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices (RAGAGEP) and OSHA's General Duty Clause. We'll help you build a right-sized program so you're ready when customers, insurers, or regulators come calling.
Yes, if your system holds 10,000 lbs. or more of anhydrous ammonia. Requirements also vary by state. Unsure about your system or have multiple facilities? We'll confirm applicability and scope your documentation needs.
Start by identifying gaps (What exists vs. what’s required), then building a prioritized action plan. Innovative supports this with PSM/RMP audit services plus ePSM to organize records, track tasks, and keep your program moving.
ePSM is a cloud-based platform designed to manage core PSM/RMP functions all in one place. It’s built to simplify recordkeeping and keep teams aligned.
Facilities need organized, current documentation like Piping & Instrument Diagrams (P&IDs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), employee training certifications, Mechanical Integrity (Preventative Maintenance) logs, Management Of Change (MOC) records, audits, incident investigations, corrective action tracking, etc. Innovative can help verify, create, and centralize required documentation within ePSM for faster retrieval and better control.
