Process Safety Doesn't Stop at Your Fence Line. Neither Does Your Liability
Contract manufacturing relationships create process safety risk on both sides of the agreement. Contracting companies often don't know what's actually happening on the plant floor. CMOs often don't receive the process safety information they need to operate safely. When an incident occurs, both parties’ face scrutiny. Kenan Stevick co-authored the CCPS Guidelines that govern these relationships — and brings that expertise to designing programs from the ground up, evaluating whether existing systems are actually working, assessing effectiveness, or providing expert testimony for either side.
The 2026 CCPS Guidelines for Process Safety in Outsourced Manufacturing defines the current standard of care for CMO relationships. Kenan co-authored it. He can assess your management system effectiveness — or testify about it in litigation.
