Practical advice for recognizing potential process incidents before they happen
Serious process incidents can occur at any time, but in many cases, warning signsunusual odors, observable corrosion, or past operating history concernsthat could prevent potentially catastrophic accidents go unrecognized. Recognizing Catastrophic Incident Warning Signs in the Process Industries presents a comprehensive look at how to design and implement effective process safety management (PSM) systems. Going beyond other books on the market, it also offers unique guidance on how to recognize and respond to warning signs before it’s too late.
Providing guidance on characterizing and responding to the warning signs that anticipate process incidents, the book is an invaluable tool for PSM professionals evaluating their processes and systems, the operators at the front lines of defense against process incidents, and anyone involved with or interested in improving process safety. Packed with practical tips and photos, and with an accompanying website that contains an assortment of auxiliary documents, the book is designed to turn anyone in a process plant into a hazard lookout.
