Résumé

This book continues the success of the previous edition as it gives insight on eliminating specific classes of hazards, while providing real case histories with valuable messages. There are practical sections on mechanical integrity, management of change, and incident investigation programs, along with a long list of helpful resources. New to this edition: See a new chapter covering accidents involving compressors, hoses and pumps. There will be updates in various areas with statistics updated and new incidents sprinkled in here and there. Internet based references and resources will be updates and expanded to reflect the explosion in available information on the world-wide-web. (Some specific concepts are included at the end of the proposal.)

Audience : Employees of the chemical manufacturing industries, petroleum refineries, specialty chemical industries, engineering companies and consultants who serve the chemical and petroleum industries, and academics interested in including process safety into their curriculums.
