Explosions in the process industries injure or kill hundreds, if not thousands, of workers every year. They occur in process plants,
refineries, platforms and pipelines all over the world. Millions of dollars are spent repairing damages, replacing equipment and
rebuilding facilities in the wake of this destruction. The loss of human life adds another dimension to these tragedies. This book
explores different types of explosions that can occur in a facility and the necessary steps to guard against them. A clear set of
preventative measures, rules and standards combine to make this book a convenient guide to real-world applications. Additional
theoretical issues in the use of probabilistic equations and scenarios make this book an absolute necessity for process industry safety

Hazardous Gases and Fumes, A Safety Handbook
By Peter Warren
* Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
* Number Of Pages: 196
* Publication Date: 1997-05-14
* ISBN / ASIN: 0750620900
Book Description:
The purpose of this book is to provide the user with a concise summary of the physical properties, detection methods, handling
precautions and of the biochemical and physiological effects of gases and fumes found in the working environment so that they may be
handled safely.
The substances dealt with in this book vary considerably in their properties, whether it be chemical, physical or physiological, and as a
consequence in the risks they pose to health and safety and the conditions demanded of staff and workplaces which handle them. It is
therefore important not only to be able to identify both the gases and fumes themselves, but the dangers which they pose and the
consequent measures necessary to deal with those dangers, whether it be as a precautionary measure or in response to an incident.
For these reasons the availability of the data contained in this extremely useful book will be of vital importance to all staff on sites where
such substances are used as well as too those who may need to react to an accident involving their use such as fire-fighters, doctors,
nurses, paramedics and other emergency response staff

Safety at Work, Sixth Edition, 2003-09
ISBN: 0750654937
Author: John Ridley, John Channing,
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
Publication Date: 2003-09-24
Number Of Pages: 1096
Safety at Work is widely accepted as the authoritative guide to safety and health in the workplace and covers all aspects of safety
management.
The sixth edition has been revised to cover recent changes to UK practice and standards in health, safety, employment and
environmental legislation. It also incorporates EU directives and references to harmonised and international standards.
Reflecting the importance of the roles of directors and managers in health and safety, new chapters cover the management of risk,
emphasising the need for a sound organisational structure to achieve effective risk management. Developments in the behavioural
approach to risk management and current thinking on the development of an international standard on safety management are also
covered.
Quality of the environment is rapidly becoming part of the safety managers responsibilities both in the workplace and in the context of
global pollution. A completely new part consisting of five chapters has been added dealing solely with environmental issues (including
ISO 14001).
The increasingly important role of ergonomics in health and safety is reflected in a new chapter on Applied Ergonomics, dealing with
the subject pragmatically, that will allow the manager and practitioner to design process and operations that are within the limits of the
human body. The effects of stress, an emerging concern in health and safety, are covered in various chapters.
* The leading book on the subject of occupational safety that covers all aspects of safety management.
* Revised to include changes in health, safety, employment and environmental legislation and issues.
* Covers information required for NEBOSH and IOSH qualifications

Lees' Loss Prevention in the Process Industries
(3 Volume Set)
By
* Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
* Number Of Pages: 3680
* Publication Date: 2004-12-27
* ISBN / ASIN: 0750675551
Book Description
Over the last three decades the process industries have grown very rapidly, with corresponding increases in the quantities of
hazardous materials in process, storage or transport. Plants have become larger and are often situated in or close to densely
populated areas. Increased hazard of loss of life or property is continually highlighted with incidents such as Flixborough, Bhopal,
Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, the Phillips 66 incident, and Piper Alpha to name but a few.
The field of Loss Prevention is, and continues to, be of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments
around the world, because of the trend for processing plants to become larger and often be situated in or close to densely populated
areas, thus increasing the hazard of loss of life or property. This book is a detailed guidebook to defending against these, and many
other, hazards. It could without exaggeration be referred to as the "bible" for the process industries. This is THE standard reference
work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals. For years, it has been the most complete collection of information on
the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of
alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to
safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing reference instead

Loss Prevention: Hazard Idenitification, Assessment and Control
By Frank Lees
* Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
* Number Of Pages: 3000
* Publication Date: 1996-09-11
* ISBN / ASIN: 0750615478
Over the last three decades the process industries have grown very rapidly, with corresponding increases in the quantities of
hazardous materials in process, storage or transport. Plants are becoming larger and are often situated in or close to densely
populated areas. Increased hazard of loss of life or property is continually highlighted with incidents such as Flixborough, Bhopal,
Chernobyl and Piper Alpha.
Increasing attention must therefore be paid to the control of these hazards, and in particular the need to develop a comprehensive
approach to the avoidance of human and economic loss; this is loss prevention. Frank Lees has completely rewritten this classic
reference work on loss prevention, bringing every aspect up to date. New chapters are included on computers, artificial intelligence and
expert systems, and new appendices feature recent disasters such as Bhopal and Piper Alpha. The many thousands of references
have been updated along with standards and codes of practice. Written in a clear and concise style, 'Loss Prevention in the Process
Industries' covers traditional areas of personal safety as well as the more technological aspects and thus provides balanced and in-
depth coverage of the whole field of safety and loss prevention
