Driving Continuous Process Safety Improvement from Investigated Incidents - (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Companies handling hazardous materials and energies are always seeking to improve their process safety performance. Whether the reader is in the oil and gas, refining, petrochemical, chemical, or pharmaceutical industries, this book will provide guidance on learning from past incidents without have to experience the consequences from the incident. The learning models in this book describe scenarios showing how learning from publicly investigated incidents can assist manufacturers successfully improve their process safety performance, as well as improving four other main business-driven metrics at the same time: Personnel safety performance; Environmental responsibility; Product quality performance; and Sustainable long-term profitability. When lessons learned are shared and applied, process safety performance improves without a company having to learn significant lessons the hard way--in particular, through a significant incident that causes harm to people, the environment, and property"--

Book Synopsis

New perspectives on how to successfully drive changes in companies' process safety management systems

Simply learning from process safety incidents has proven to be insufficient to drive performance improvements. To truly change, organizations must seek out & embed learnings in their programs & systems. This book picks up from previous CCPS books, Incidents That Define Process Safety and Investigating Process Safety Incidents.

This important book:

• Offers guidelines for improving process safety performance by embedding the lessons learned from publicly available investigations
• Recommends a continuous improvement learning model focused on organizational learning
• Provides examples for using the model's techniques to drive -continuous improvements

Contains an index of more than 400 investigated incidents and introduces the concept of Drilldown to help find lessons that might not have been mentioned before.

Written for safety professionals and process safety consultants, Driving Continuous Process Safety Improvement from Investigated Incidents is a hands-on guide for adopting a model for successfully driving the learnings from process safety incident investigations.
