Process Safety for Engineers - 2nd Edition (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Many engineers do not have the necessary knowledge of process safety to adequately address process safety concerns; this book fills this need by introducing the reader to the elements of risk based process safety as defined by the CCPS and emphasizes the elements most relevant to an early-career engineers and students. The new edition has been updated with more than 70% new content and the order of topics have been rearranged. Each chapter begins with a detailed case study of a Process Safety incident and includes problem sets, what a new engineer might do, and other incidents. Additionally, the volume of content on each of the elements is commensurate with the importance of that element to a new engineer. For example, much more content is given to hazard identification and risk analysis then to process safety management systems. Finally the book provides a detailed content matrix linking to existing CCPS material and tools and includes problem sets and PowerPoint lectures for each chapter"--

Book Synopsis

Process Safety for Engineers

Familiarizes an engineer new to process safety with the concept of process safety management

In this significantly revised second edition of Process Safety for Engineers: An Introduction, CCPS delivers a comprehensive book showing how Process Safety concepts are used to reduce operational risks. Students, new engineers, and others new to process safety will benefit from this book.

In this updated edition, each chapter begins with a detailed incident case study, provides steps that help address issues, and contains problem sets which can be assigned to students.

The second edition covers:

• Process Safety: including an overview of CCPS' Risk Based Process Safety
• Hazards: specifically fire and explosion, reactive chemical, and toxicity
• Design considerations for hazard control: including Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis
• Management of operational risk: including management of change

In addition, the book presents how Process Safety performance is monitored and sustained. The associated online resources are linked to the latest online CCPS resources and lectures.
