Chemical safety guidelines

Before starting this synthesis, carefully review the chemical safety guidelines and follow the instructions listed in Example 2.1. 

Along with the chemical safety guidelines and safe work and handling guidelines provided below, it is important for every employee, before begriming any operation involving the use or handling of chemicals, to ask What would happen if... The answer to this question will be dictated by the hazardous properties of the material and its intended use. Moreover, for the employee to answer this question, he or she must not only understand the hazards associated with the chemicals but also the equipment and procedures involved.

Another publication produced by the Center for Chemical Process Safety, Guidelines for Investigating Chemical Process Incidents (CCPS, 1992d), is directed at achieving similar objectives but from a differing perspective and with differing emphasis. Both sources of information can be used in a complementary manner to improve the quality of data collection and incident analysis in the CPI.

A chemical engineer may have a choice of inherent safety variables, such as quantity stored or process temperatures and pressures, or process safety measures such as emergency isolation valves or containment systems, all of which may greatly reduce the vulnerabilities or the consequences of intentional loss. These are in addition to traditional security measures, which may include physical security, background checks, administrative controls, access controls, or other protective measures. For a more complete discussion of the options, refer to the AIChE Center for Chemical Process Safety Guidelines for Analyzing and Managing the Security Vulnerabilities of Fixed Chemical Sites and other references.f...
