Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This text - primarily aimed at students of the fundamentals for process safety - presents the fundamentals of process safety in such a form those students, who typically lack such prior knowledge and experience, will fully understand and absorb the subject. The knowledge is presented in a coherent, integrated, academic framework, which is founded in fundamental science, especially in the disciplines of physics and chemistry. The text should help students find the subject more amenable to systematic study and more clearly related to other subjects covered in their curriculum. The information has been used in the teaching of a Process Safety module to undergraduate students of chemical engineering at the University of Bradford.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Basic concepts -- Hazard sources and their realizations -- Transmission paths and attenuation -- Harm to receptors -- Significant case histories -- Control of process hazards.
