The paper reviews past progress in the development of methods and models for process
safety and risk management and highlights the present research trends; also it outlines the …

The growing scale and complexity of process industries have brought safety, health, and
environmental issues to the forefront. As a result, proactive risk reduction strategies (RRSs) …

How far will an ounce of prevention really go? While the answer to that question may never
be truly known, Process Plants: A Handbook for Inherently Safer Design, Second Edition …

This paper reviews principal concepts, tools, and metrics for risk management and
Inherently Safer Design (ISD) during the conceptual stage of process design. Even though …

Since the inception of inherent safety in the 1970s, impressive progress has been made in
using it to shape Friendlier Chemical Processes (FCP) which are largely characterized by …

Explosive waste poses growing threats to people and the environment in the vicinity during
the process of transportation, collection and periodic storage. In this paper, attention is …

Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) methods have recently experienced significant
advances. These methods provide valuable information from an abnormal situation …

The purpose of process safety is the prevention and mitigation of incidents arising from
process-related hazards while inherent safety design is one of the most effective ways to …

The fundamental concept of quantification of inherent safety level is based on the ranking of
chemical process routes. Three pioneering inherent safety indices (ie PIIS, ISI and i-Safe) …

In the current practice, safety assessment is conducted once the process design has been
completed. At this stage of design, the freedom to change the conceptual design is very …
