This document is intended as a typical guideline and reference book that may be applied at petroleum, petrochemical and chemical facilities. It is suggested that this document is used as a practical reference to prepare the safety review requirements for these and related industries, and their process safety management systems. 

In this chapter we will emphasize system upsets or abnormal situations where the loss or degradation of components or controls could allow process parameters to exceed the design intent or limit of the process or equipment, resulting in an accidental chemical release. The time factor involved in an operator s ability to assess and correct an operating deviation is discussed in more detail in CCPS Guidelines for Integrating Human Factors into Process Safety Management Systems ...
