Résumé

A book primarily aimed at students in the fundamentals for process safety to prepare them for future responsibility industrial life. It is also an introductory text to graduates who have had no or little formal training in process safety. It presents the fundamentals of process safety in such a form that students, who typically lack such prior knowledge and experience, will fully understand and absorb the subject. The knowledge is presented with in a coherent, integrated, academic framework, which is founded in fundamental science, especially in the disciplines of physics and chemistry. The text will help students find the subject more amenable to systematic study and more clearly related to other subjects covered in their curriculum. An early draft of the book has been used in the teaching of a Process Safety module to undergraduate students of chemical engineering at the University of Bradford. Based on a conceptual model, which the authors have devised and developed progressively in the course of the text. It is not an attempt to make the subject simple; the model is founded on a set of defined and inter-related concepts. It can, however, provide the elements of the subject and, therefore, such important topics, for example, quantitative risk assessment and gas dispersion can only be treated in an introductory manner.
