Process Safety Culture

Many of the current approaches to risk management are now quite mature so increasing attention is being paid to the topics of culture and employee participation. For example, the Baker Commission Report to do with the incident that occurred in 2005 at Texas City states that there is a need for a "common, unifying process safety culture".

Hazard Identification

Purchase

Overview

Risk consists of four elements,

  1. A hazard;
  2. The consequences of that hazard (safety, environmental and economic);
  3. The likelihood of occurrence of that hazard; and
  4. Safeguards that reduce consequences or likelihood.

The relationship between the first of the above three terms is shown in Equation (1).

The focus of our publications is on helping companies meet their safety, environmental, and operational goals. Yet no matter how well designed and operated a facility may be there are times when an emergency occurs and an immediate response is required. This ebook discusses the topics of emergency management and of emergency response systems in the context of a risk and reliability management program.

Management of Change

Overview

The proper management of change (MOC) lies at the heart of any successful risk management or process safety management program. It can be taken for granted that everyone associated with the design and operation of any industrial facility wants to do a good job. Yet, in spite of their best intentions, accidents continue to happen; people get hurt, production is lost, and the environment is polluted.

Incident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis

Overview

The thorough investigation and analysis of incidents (both actual events and near misses), along with the appropriate follow-up, provides one of the most effective means of improving the safety and reliability of process facilities through the effective use of incident investigation. Other risk management programs, such as hazards analysis and management of change, are directed toward anticipating problems so that corrective actions can be taken before an event occurs.
