Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book examines current practices in chemical plants and also suggests ways for improvement. It is based on Cheaper, Safer Plants or Health and Safety at Work - Notes on inherently Safer and Simpler Plants, published in 1984, but has been updated and augmented with other ways of making plants more user friendly. This book is also essential reading for students and senior managers because it encourages the design of plants that can tolerate human error or equipment failure without serious effects on safety, output and efficiency.

"Based on an earlier publication, Cheaper, safer plants, or Wealth and safety at work ... published by the U.K. Institution of Chemical Engineers in 1984 ... which has been rewritten and extended"--Pref..
