Overview
This book provides comprehensive and practical guidance for the development and implementation of process safety management (PSM), operational integrity and operational excellence programs. It covers design and operations, and shows how to improve not only safety but also reliability, environmental performance, quality and profitability. Techniques and principles are illustrated with numerous examples, chemical plants, refineries, transportation, pipelines, and offshore oil and gas.
The information provided will help 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 OSHA Process Safety Management (PSM) and BSEE Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS) rules are covered in detail.
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.
