Synopsis

Tolerance for safety accidents at chemical plants has decreased dramatically in the recent past; yet only large-scale catastrophic events are highlighted by the media and much of the professional literature, while less visible everyday concerns of the vast majority of process companies, packagers and distributors, sewage and water-treating plants, and those who handle only what are perceived as mildly hazardous materials remain in a grey zone of indecision, without firm ideas about what might be appropriate for their safety problems in their particular cases and their specific geographical locations. The purpose of this book is to describe the principles essential to a succesful risk management system and to illustrate practical methods of implementing them. The author has been at the forefront of risk management for a long time, pioneering many techniques to improve safety at industrial plants. This book reflects his intimate knowledge and his vision of a safer future in industry. The book includes, among others, a human error reading list. The book is addressed to risk managers at all types of plants and anyone interest in the topics covered, who have a fair (but not immense) amount of technical knowledge.
