Establish an independent Process Safety Management system before access to your former parent company's applications expires.
Gateway helps divested and newly independent facilities maintain PSM continuity, configure essential business processes, transition active records, and preserve historical safety information—without making operational readiness dependent on a massive legacy-data migration.
Discuss Your TSA DeadlineFor years, your facility may have relied on its parent company's applications for Management of Change (MOC), Process Hazard Analysis (PHA), Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR), incident investigations and corrective actions.
Those systems may still work—but a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) typically limits how long the newly independent organization can use them. The deadline can arrive before a replacement platform and historical-record strategy are ready.
PSM obligations and day-to-day safety processes do not pause during an ownership transition. The challenge is to establish independent operations while preserving the information needed for engineering decisions, compliance and audits.
Limited access to corporate systems makes timely decisions about replacement applications, data extraction and cutover essential.
Changes, hazard reviews, investigations, approvals and corrective actions still need to be managed throughout the transition.
Active MOCs, action items and supporting documents need a controlled transition so work does not disappear between systems.
Completed records may be needed for future engineering reviews, audits, incident investigations and retention obligations.
Historical records do not always need to be reconstructed as active workflows. Vaulting and migration can serve different purposes.
A new operating environment can reflect the facility's own roles, approval paths and priorities rather than duplicating its former parent's configuration.
A deadline-driven implementation sequence establishes the essential operating environment while a parallel information-preservation workstream protects historical records before legacy access ends.
Implement the essential applications first. Configure your existing MOC and related workflows, establish users and permissions, transfer active records, test functionality and prepare for production use.
In parallel, inventory, extract, validate and preserve completed MOCs, historical PHAs, incident records and related documents in an appropriate, accessible repository.
Use shared cutover milestones and data ownership decisions, but do not make launch of the new operating system dependent on reconstructing every historical record.
Preserve required metadata, revision context, approval history and document relationships, with reconciliation and acceptance criteria appropriate to the source information.
Identify the last dates for source access, extraction, validation, training and cutover, including dependencies on the former parent company's support.
Once core processes are operating independently, add further applications, integrations, reporting and process improvements through controlled phases.
Define critical milestones, former-parent dependencies, data access needs and a workable implementation sequence.
Configure facility-specific MOC and related lifecycles without unnecessarily redesigning established processes during the transition.
Evaluate a representative MOC lifecycle, user roles, approvals, actions and migration assumptions before committing to production scope.
Identify, map, transfer and validate open MOCs, outstanding actions and supporting documents required after cutover.
Develop a preservation strategy for closed records and associated documents without automatically recreating them as active workflows.
Validate access, notifications, reporting, training, acceptance criteria and transition support before the former platform is retired.
For covered facilities, transition plans should account for applicable regulatory obligations and site-specific retention, operating and governance requirements. Software supports the PSM program; it does not replace the operator's compliance responsibilities.
FACILEX® supports configurable, lifecycle-based PSM processes and relationships among business objects. Gateway can help determine which processes need to be live at cutover and which can be introduced later.
Gateway combines process safety consulting, FACILEX® configuration, implementation and information migration services to help newly independent facilities establish essential PSM capabilities under a realistic transition schedule. A focused MOC Proof of Concept can form the foundation for production implementation, subject to project scope and prerequisites.
Tell us when your existing PSM access ends, which processes must continue, and what historical information needs to be preserved. Gateway can help define a practical path to independent operations.
