Synopses & Reviews
Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation Procedures, Third Edition keeps process engineers updated on the effective methodologies that process safety demands. The third edition includes new information on layer of protection analysis, security vulnerability analysis, human factors, inherently safer technology reviews, mechanical integrity; examples that speak to current process technology and management practices and to contexts outside of chemical manufacturing and petroleum; and electronic spreadsheet tools to make the user's job easier.
Review
"This book will be a most valuable reference source for any chemical engineer who has to conduct or be involved in hazard evaluation studies." (Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, November 2008)
Synopsis
Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation Procedures, 3rd Edition keeps process engineers updated on the effective methodologies that process safety demands. Almost 200 pages of worked examples are included to facilitate understanding. References for further reading, along with charts and diagrams that reflect the latest views and information, make this a completely accessible work. The revised and updated edition includes information not included in previous editions giving a comprehensive overview of this topic area.
