Positive Material Identification (PMI)
In
an atmosphere of public scrutiny, stepped-up industrial
safety regulations, and more stringent OSHA oversight
and fines, it is absolutely essential for petroleum and
petrochemical refineries to ensure that their positive
material identification (PMI) programs meet best
practices.
