Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This text examines the use of practical techniques to implement process safety in new and existing plants. The author's own incident scenario model enables selection of a suitable hazard identification technique for the case in hand. The technique may be one of the pre-Hazop techniques Concept Hazard Analysis and Preliminary Process Hazard Analysis, both of which are explained in detail, or one of the better-known Hazop, Failure Mode and Effect Analysis or Task Analysis. The text also touches on fault and event trees, risk criteria and risk assessment. The techniques are explained in detail and demonstrated by case studies. They have been tested and found valuable in real applications.
Includes bibliographical references (page 297) and index.
