This book provides guidance on characterizing, recognizing, and responding to warning signs to help avoid process incidents and injuries before they occur. The guidance can be used by both process safety management (PSM) professionals in evaluating their processes and PSM systems as well as for operators who are often the frontline defense against process incidents. Warning signs may consist of process deviations or upsets, instrumentation warnings or alarms, past operating history and incidents, observable problems such as corrosion or unusual odors, audit results indicating procedures are not being followed, or a number of other indicators. Filled with photos and practical tips, this book will turn anyone in a process plant into a hazard lookout and will help prevent potential incidents before they turn into catastrophic events.

Recenzijas

"The CCPS and the authors (AntiEntropcis, Inc,) are to be commended on producing a very informative and useful book that will help to minimize process plant accidents if the principles in the book are followed . . . This book will be very useful to plant operating personnel and process safety/loss prevention specialists to help them evaluate their processes and systems." (Process Safety Progress, 1 June 2012)
