Introduction-- Technical, process, and occupational safety-- Historical development-- Major events-- Health, safety, and environmental programs-- Prescriptive/Nonprescriptive-- Process safety management-- Environment-- Quality management-- Risk-- Components of risk-- Common cause events-- Subjective nature of risk-- Quantification of risk-- Acceptable risk-- Risk matrices-- Black swan events-- Different industries-- Examples.
Summary: This book helps executives, managers and technical professionals achieve not only their current PSM goals, but also to make the transition to a broader operational integrity strategy. The book focuses on the energy and process industries- from refineries, to pipelines, chemical plants, transportation, energy and offshore facilities. The techniques described in the book can also be applied to a wide range of non-process industries. The book is both thorough and practical. It discusses theoretical principles in a wide variety of areas such as management of change, risk analysis and incident investigation, and then goes on to show how these principles work in practice, either in the design office or in an operating facility. The second edition has been expanded, revised and updated and many new sections have been added including: The impact of resource limitations, a review of some recent major incidents, the value of story-telling as a means of conveying process safety values and principles, and the impact of the proposed changes to the OSHA PSM standard. * Learn how to develop a thorough and complete process safety management program.* Go beyond traditional hazards analysis and risk management programs to explore a company's entire range of procedures, processes and management issues.* Understand how to develop a culture of process safety and operational excellence that goes beyond simple rule compliance.* Develop process safety programs for both onshore facilities (EPA, OSHA) and offshore platforms and rigs (BSEE) and to meet Safety Case requirements.
