Book description
Process safety management (PSM) systems are only as effective as the
day-to-day ability of the organization to rigorously execute system
requirements correctly every time. The failure of just one person in
completing a job task correctly just one time can unfortunately lead to
serious injuries and potentially catastrophic incidents. In fact, the
design, implementation, and daily execution of PSM systems are all
dependent on workers at all levels in the organization doing their job
tasks correctly every time. High levels of Operational Discipline,
therefore, help ensure strong PSM performance and overall operational excellence.
This book details management practices which help ensure rigor in
executing process safety programs in order to prevent major accidents.
Since 1985, the CENTER FOR CHEMICAL PROCESS SAFETY
(CCPS) has been the world leader in developing and disseminating
information on process safety management and technology. CCPS, an
industry technology alliance of the American Institute of Chemical
Engineers (AIChE), has published over eighty books in its process
safety guidelines and process safety concepts series, and over one
hundred training modules through its Safety in Chemical Engineering
Education (SAChe) series.
