Description
Proper management strategies and methodologies are an essential part of safeguarding chemical process operations and protecting personnel, plant assets.
The articles in this guidebook provide guidance for improving plant safety and reducing the risk of catastrophic failures. Tips are included for ensuring plant safety and installing safety-instrumented systems as well as carrying out process-hazard analyses (PHAs) and hazard-and-operability studies (HAZOPs), environmental audits, and field troubleshooting of equipment.
Articles contain strategic recommendations for minimizing fire and explosion risk, managing piping systems, and ensuring that alarm systems are used in the best possible way.
The selection of appropriate gear to protect plant personnel (clothing, gloves, eye protection and hearing protection) is also profiled in several articles within this volume.
This guidebook is part of a two-volume set, with volume one entitled “Improving Plant Safety: Equipment Design and Operation”, sold separately.
Delivered in a PDF format, 200 pages.
