Publisher Summary
Safety and loss performance in the chemical industry is the result of the interaction of plant design, construction and maintenance with production processes, and trained people applying a well-developed operating discipline. An accident leading to personal injury, property damage, or product loss invariably is the result of the failure of one or more of these elements. Each factor involved in chemical production—equipment, process, product, and people may be subject to a variety of failure modes which may lead to accidents. Most nonhuman failures have their origin in human action, inaction, or misaction, and their effects are mitigated or magnified by human reactions. In the chemical industry, most chemical engineers apply their skills in operations, management, safety, loss prevention, and other related activities. The chapter throws light on research, engineering, operations, and marketing role. The chapter also explains technological and procedural safety through various programs and functionalities.
