AI Integration Services for Process Safety Management

Put artificial intelligence to work within your existing Process Safety Management processes—not alongside them as an uncontrolled standalone tool.

Gateway helps organizations evaluate, design and pilot AI agents integrated with FACILEX® workflows, with particular emphasis on Management of Change (MOC), Replacement in Kind (RIK), Incident Investigation and Process Hazard Analysis (PHA).

Discuss an AI-PSM Pilot

AI can accelerate analysis. But how does it fit a controlled safety process?

PSM activities draw on large volumes of drawings, procedures, previous hazard studies, equipment data and operating experience. Retrieving and reconciling this information can consume valuable engineering and specialist time.

General-purpose AI tools may generate plausible answers without reliable source references, current revision context or appropriate authority to make safety decisions. That is not a suitable basis for uncontrolled PSM automation.

The opportunity is to integrate a well-defined AI assistant with FACILEX® records and approval lifecycles, so useful recommendations are grounded in available evidence and evaluated by responsible personnel.

?
An AI-PSM integration project must answer:
  • Which PSM activity would benefit from AI assistance?
  • What information is authoritative, current and accessible?
  • How will the agent cite its source records and revisions?
  • What actions can AI suggest, and what must people approve?
  • How will quality, access control and data security be tested?
  • How will the pilot demonstrate operational value?

Start with a Real PSM Problem

Prioritize an operational use case with a measurable outcome rather than introducing AI for its own sake.

Use Controlled Information

Ground agent responses in approved procedures, PHA records, drawings and linked FACILEX® information.

Preserve Human Authority

Keep risk acceptance, technical conclusions, approvals and closure decisions with designated personnel.

Fit Existing Workflows

Connect AI assistance to FACILEX® lifecycle stages, assignments, reviews and records.

Test Before Deployment

Evaluate response quality, traceability, security and usefulness in a controlled pilot environment.

Build an Evidence Trail

Record inputs, references, recommendations, reviewer decisions and follow-up actions as appropriate.

Gateway applies an eight-stage, risk-informed approach to AI agent integration. Scope and sequencing can be adapted to the selected FACILEX® applications, existing data environment and the organization's governance requirements.

1
Discover
Select the PSM use case and identify intended users and decisions.
2
Assess
Review workflows, data quality, security and system dependencies.
3

Define retrieval, prompts, guardrails, human approvals and measures.
4
Connect
Configure controlled access to relevant FACILEX® records and sources.
5
Prototype
Build bounded agent-assisted tasks in a nonproduction environment.
6
Validate
Test accuracy, traceability, failure cases and reviewer decisions.
7
Pilot
Run supervised scenarios and assess time, quality and user value.
8
Improve
Refine, document controls and plan any production rollout.

Important: AI-generated content is decision support—not an approved hazard analysis, RIK determination, incident conclusion or MOC authorization. Competent personnel remain accountable for technical review, risk decisions and formal approvals.

Management of Change (MOC)

Assist with initial scoping, identify potentially affected procedures and equipment, suggest review disciplines and draft action checklists. Authorized reviewers determine applicability and approve changes.

Replacement in Kind (RIK)

Help compare a proposed replacement against documented specifications and approved equivalency criteria, flag missing evidence and route uncertain cases for MOC assessment. AI does not independently declare RIK status.

Incident Reporting & Investigation

Support classification, retrieve similar historical events, organize evidence, and propose lines of inquiry or follow-up actions. Investigators establish causes and approve findings.

Process Hazard Analysis (PHA)

Retrieve relevant PSI, prior studies, safeguards and recommendations; assist with preparation and consistency checks. Qualified PHA teams retain responsibility for hazard judgments.

Use-Case Discovery & Scoping

Work with PSM leaders to define the agent’s role, eligible records, exclusions, workflow triggers and success criteria.

Information & Retrieval Design

Identify authoritative sources, document revisions, metadata, access permissions and retrieval boundaries.

FACILEX® Workflow Integration

Design how agent outputs appear in MOC, RIK screening, Incident Investigation and PHA processes.

Validation & Human Review

Develop representative test cases, evaluate grounded answers and define mandatory human verification steps.

Pilot & Adoption Planning

Conduct a bounded proof of concept with designated users, training and monitored performance.

Governance & Ongoing Improvement

Address information security, prompt injection, response quality, change control and review of agent performance.

Use-Case Assessment

Select one bounded process and identify the relevant FACILEX® data, roles, pain points and expected benefits.

Controlled Proof of Concept

Demonstrate retrieval, citations, proposed actions and human review using representative records and defined test scenarios.

Production Readiness Planning

Assess information governance, integration architecture, monitoring, training, ownership and ongoing validation before any rollout.

Build AI assistance around your process safety controls.

Gateway's engagement can be aligned with applicable PSM requirements, enterprise AI governance and information security policies. AI does not replace the regulatory duties of employers or the judgment of qualified process safety professionals.

Start where the operational value is greatest.

Gateway combines process safety domain expertise with experience configuring FACILEX® workflows and linked information. An AI agent can assist with retrieving evidence and preparing recommendations while the existing FACILEX® lifecycle retains the formal record, responsibilities and approvals.

Integration scope, model hosting and access controls are determined during discovery; a specific AI capability should not be assumed production-ready without validation.

AI integration as a professional service—not another standalone application.

Gateway can help you evaluate an AI agent, establish information and workflow boundaries, demonstrate practical use cases and build a responsible deployment plan around FACILEX®. Existing approval authority and source-system ownership remain intact.

Bring us a PSM process worth improving.

Start with MOC, RIK, incidents or PHA. Gateway can help define a focused pilot, identify trusted source information and demonstrate how AI assistance can work within your existing FACILEX® controls.
