Operational Compliance for Process Safety
Every MOC and anomaly response is verified against federal PSM requirements and your site's own procedures before any work begins. And every day, Archon sweeps your facility for compliance gaps you didn't know existed.
6
Federal PSM rules encoded and formally verified
2
Compliance layers: federal statute + your site procedures
Daily
Proactive compliance sweeps across your entire facility
Zero
Verdicts modified after issuance — audit trail is immutable
The Problem
MOC documentation failures are among the most cited OSHA PSM violations year after year. Documentation gaps, missed PSSR gates, and incorrect RIK classifications appear routine until an inspector arrives or an incident occurs.
Current tools tell you a form was submitted. They do not tell you whether the form is federally sufficient. They do not check it against your own SOPs and operating permits. And they only see what you submit to them.
A significant category of PSM violations accumulates through inaction — inspections not performed, MOCs that expired and were never closed, investigations not initiated within the 48-hour window. No alarm fires. No case is opened. The facility drifts into violation silently.
What you have today
What Archon adds
How It Works
Two workflows. One compliance engine. Every decision documented before it is executed.
MOC — Management of Change
01
Submit
Engineer submits MOC with all five §1910.119(l) required fields.
02
Verify Tier 1
Six federal rules evaluated instantly. Each returns PASS, FLAG, or BLOCKED with the exact CFR clause.
03
Verify Tier 2
Site-specific constraints from your SOPs and permits evaluated against the same case.
04
Override or Close
Supervisor acknowledges flags with documented justification. Every override is logged — verdict unchanged.
05
Audit Record
Complete immutable record: every verdict, citation, override, justification, and timestamp.
Anomaly Response
01
Detect
Case opened manually by operator or automatically via alarm webhook from SCADA or DCS.
02
Plan
Operator submits structured response plan — action type, equipment, permits, sequence, personnel.
03
Verify
Full Tier 1 and Tier 2 compliance check returns a verdict in seconds. Not a batch process.
04
Supervisor Action
Mobile-accessible supervisor view. Approve, add conditions, or override with documented justification.
05
Audit Record
Timestamped record from event detection through resolution — exactly what OSHA reviews after an incident.
Proactive Compliance Monitor
A scheduled monitor runs daily across your facility and checks for compliance obligations that have gone unmet — with no case opened, no alarm fired, no one noticing. It produces Findings: structured gap reports that a process safety reviewer can act on before an inspector does.
Tier 1 Temporal Checks
Tier 2 Recurring Obligations
Every finding is logged in the audit record whether or not it is acted upon. If OSHA inspects, you can demonstrate the system identified the gap and document when it was reviewed — a meaningfully better position than no record at all.
Capabilities
Current capabilities — live in the product today.
The only compliance engine in the industry with this property.
Formally Verified Engine
The Tier 1 kernel is formally specified in Lean 4 with machine-checked correctness proofs. Each rule has a mathematical proof that the implementation cannot produce an incorrect verdict for any possible input. This is not testing — it is proof. No EHS platform, no industrial AI vendor, no compliance software in this industry makes this claim.
Tier 1 Federal Kernel
Six deterministic rules encoding 29 CFR 1910.119 directly — MOC completeness, PSSR gate, hot work permit, PTW, incident investigation timing, and RIK determination. Each rule cites the exact CFR subsection in every verdict.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every verdict, override, justification, and finding is written to an append-only audit log enforced by database-level triggers — not application logic. Records cannot be modified after creation. Ready for any regulatory proceeding.
Override Workflow
FLAG verdicts require supervisor acknowledgment and documented justification. BLOCKED verdicts require the same plus automatic notification to the process safety reviewer. Overriding a verdict never modifies it — a separate override record is linked to the original.
Role Authorization Engine
Constraints specify which roles have authority to approve each change type at each site. Authorization mismatches produce FLAG verdicts that identify who does have authority. Delegation is supported with full audit logging.
Document Library
Centralized document store for all site-specific source materials — SOPs, permits, P&IDs, engineering specs. Version-controlled. Superseded documents are retained, not deleted. Constraints trace back to the exact document, section, and clause they came from.
Roadmap
Archon is in active development. The capabilities below are confirmed on the roadmap and will be available to early access partners as they ship.
Document Ingestion Pipeline
Upload your SOPs, operating permits, and engineering specifications. The extraction pipeline reads each document and identifies constraint-bearing language — what is required, what is prohibited, what thresholds apply. Every extracted constraint goes to a draft review queue before activation. Nothing activates without a Process Safety Reviewer approval record.
Tier 2 Site Constraint Library
Active site-specific constraints run alongside the six federal Tier 1 rules on every case submission. A case that passes all federal requirements may still produce a FLAG or BLOCKED verdict against your own procedures. Constraints trace back to the exact document, section, and clause they came from.
Anomaly Response Workflow
Full case management for anomaly response — structured submission, Tier 1 and Tier 2 compliance verification, supervisor acknowledgment, and immutable audit record. The same compliance engine that governs MOC governs anomaly response. One engine, both workflows.
Proactive Compliance Monitor
A scheduled daily sweep across your facility checks for compliance obligations that have gone unmet with no case opened and no alarm fired — expired MOCs, overdue investigations, incomplete PSSRs, and recurring inspection obligations from your site documents. Produces Findings that a process safety reviewer can promote to formal cases with one click. Every finding is audit-logged whether or not it is acted upon.
Alarm Ingestion
Webhook receiver normalizes alarm data from SCADA, DCS, and historian systems into Archon cases automatically. Alarm priority maps to Archon urgency levels. The operator receives a pre-populated case rather than a blank form.
Conflict Detection
When a new Tier 2 constraint is activated, Archon automatically checks it against all existing active constraints for direct contradictions, temporal overlaps, and scope ambiguities. Conflicts route to the reviewer queue before activation.
Early access partners receive roadmap items as they ship. If a specific capability is critical to your workflow, tell us — it shapes build priority.
Who It's For
Archon is built for process safety professionals at facilities covered by OSHA PSM (29 CFR 1910.119) — the federal standard that applies whenever a facility handles listed highly hazardous chemicals at or above threshold quantities.
If your facility operates under PSM, compliance is not discretionary. The question is whether your verification process is documented, systematic, and defensible — or whether it relies on your team knowing the right questions to ask every single time.
Petrochemical and Refining
Ethylene crackers, crude distillation, hydrocracking, olefin plants. High chemical inventory, heavy PSM coverage, large compliance teams.
Specialty Chemicals
Coatings, adhesives, industrial solvents, pharmaceutical precursors. Same regulatory framework, often smaller EHS teams relative to complexity.
Industrial Gases
Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and chlorine production. Highly hazardous, deeply PSM-covered, often underserved by existing software.
Power Generation
Gas-fired generation and combined cycle plants handling hazardous fuels under PSM. Change management volume is high.
Built for Every Role in the Workflow
Process Engineer
Submits MOC cases. Receives immediate compliance verdict with CFR citations before any work proceeds. No more manual cross-referencing of §1910.119.
Shift Supervisor
Reviews flagged cases from any device. Acknowledges findings with documented justification. Receives automatic notification for BLOCKED verdicts requiring escalation.
Process Safety Reviewer
Manages the Tier 2 constraint review queue. Activates, edits, or rejects extracted constraints. Reviews the proactive findings queue and BLOCKED override log.
Site Admin
Configures site structure, user accounts, and role assignments. Manages the document library. Sets authorization mappings for each change type and unit.
Early Access
The first conversation is a discovery call — we want to understand your facility, your current compliance workflow, and where the gaps are. No pitch deck. If Archon is the right fit, we will tell you exactly how an implementation would work and what it would take.
