With the year’s end just around the corner, now may be a good time to review your PSM program and assure that all the things you’re supposed to do have been done.

And there could be some mechanical integrity issues out there, too. Did all this year’s MOC’s get closed out? The final review or signatures can often be overlooked.

We witness many programs that must be completely restarted from the ground up only because continuity is lost when a key person responsible for PSM leaves that role.
