The Frontline Solution

Frontline offers the right tool for every stage of safety and compliance management. For this use case, Frontline MOC helps organizations satisfy the pre-startup safety review requirements of OSHA 1910.119(i). Manage PSSR checklists, verify that construction, procedures, training, and hazard reviews are complete, and document every sign-off before startup.

Explore Frontline MOC

Improve Oversight

See exactly where every pre-startup review stands from a single dashboard, from the reviews still in progress to the ones cleared for startup.

Maintain Compliance

Standardize a consistent PSSR checklist across facilities so every startup is measured against the same OSHA pre-startup requirements, with each answer and sign-off captured.

Reduce Risk

Confirm the process hazard analysis, procedures, training, and equipment checks are all complete before a process goes live, so nothing starts up with open items.

Simplify Your PSSR Processes

Move your pre-startup safety review off paper checklists and spreadsheets and into a single digital form. Frontline MOC lets you build your PSSR checklist to match how your facility actually operates. Start from the included example checklist or create your own from scratch, then add the specific questions, equipment checks, and sign-offs your site requires. No IT project and no developer needed, so your safety team can build and adjust the review on their own.

  • Build a Yes / No / N/A checklist with a comment field on every item, capturing the reasoning behind each answer.
  • Tailor the review to your operation by adding, removing, or rewording any question at any time.
  • Attach the PSSR checklist directly to the change it belongs to, keeping the review and the process together in one record.

Connect Front Line workers, Procedures, and Stay Compliant

A pre-startup review only works if the right people complete it before the process starts. In Frontline MOC, the PSSR sits in the implementation stage of a change, so the change cannot close out until the review is finished and signed off. Automated alerts and workflow steps keep the review moving, routing each task to the right reviewer and following up so nothing stalls.

  • Assign review and sign-off tasks to approvers, implementers, and your implementation manager, with automatic email notifications.
  • Tie training completion into the review so a process cannot go live until the people running it are trained.
  • Keep engineering, safety, and operations working from the same digital record instead of chasing statuses over email.

Confidently Prepare for Audits

Every answer, comment, and sign-off on the PSSR checklist is recorded automatically, giving you a complete, timestamped account of how each process was cleared for startup. When an auditor asks for proof, the record is already built. Simplified reporting turns that history into clean documentation without the manual scramble, and the dashboard shows the status of every review at a glance.

  • Access complete records for every PSSR, hazard analysis, and action item in one place.
  • Generate reports that align with OSHA PSM documentation standards in a few clicks.
  • Track pending and completed reviews on a live dashboard instead of rebuilding status by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

A pre-startup safety review (PSSR) is a required check under OSHA’s process safety management standard (29 CFR 1910.119(i)). Before a highly hazardous chemical is introduced to a new or modified process, the PSSR confirms that construction and equipment match the design specifications, that operating and emergency procedures are in place, that a process hazard analysis has been completed and its recommendations resolved, and that everyone operating the process has been trained.

A PSSR is required before the startup of a new process and before restarting a process that has undergone a change significant enough to require a management of change (MOC). It is the final safety gate that confirms a facility is ready to operate safely

Frontline MOC provides built-in workflows for building pre-startup checklists, assigning and tracking sign-offs, and confirming that hazard reviews, procedures, and training are complete before startup. Every step is documented automatically, creating a complete audit trail.

By standardizing checklists, automating notifications, and tracking every approval in one place, digital PSSR software reduces administrative work and prevents startups from moving forward with open items. It also improves communication across engineering, safety, and operations teams.
