The alkalis and acids used to catalyze phenolic reactions are highly corrosive and any exposure is a potentially serious health threat. Those handling these materials should be thoroughly familiar with the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets and emergency procedures. We do not purport to provide any specific health guidance here except to say that one should consult the appropriate references and be properly trained when making phenolic resins.

Review emergency procedures daily with all site personnel at safety meetings before beginning the work shift. 

A team consists of two or more people that know the process technology, design, operating procedures, practices, alarms, emergency procedures, test and maintenance procedures, routine and non-routine tasks. They must consider authorization and procurement of parts and supplies, safety and health standards, codes, specifications and regulations. The team leader provides m.iriagcment and goals to the process the team and consultants construct and interpret the analyses.

The HAZOP team consisted of a HAZOP leader, scribe, process engineer, senior operator, and afety engineer. Previously, the HAZOP leader collected information on the process design (e.g P lDs, operating procedures, emergency procedures and incident reports) for distribution to each team men The leader sectioned the process and identified process deviations prior to the HAZOP. 

Performance problems may be exacerbated during unfamiliar or novel process events, for example, situations not covered in the emergency procedures or in refresher training. These events require knowledge-based information processing for which people are not very reliable. The types of errors associated with knowledge-based performance have been discussed in Chapter 2. 

As process plants become more complex, it becomes apparent that it is not possible to rely exclusively on the process worker s skills and memory required to perform the task. Job aids and procedures are devices which aim to reduce the need for human retention of procedures and references as well as the amount of decision making required. Job aids assume a variety of formats including flowcharts, checklists, decision tables, etc., while procedures refer to other systems of documentation such as standard operating instmctions and emergency procedures. 

Another aspect of the response to plant transients is the effective use of the emergency procedures. The process worker needs training in order to be able to apply these procedures correctly under time pressure. Conditions of entry or transfer to other procedures, profitability-safety requirements, and the response of the automatic protection systems need to be learned extensively in training exercises. 

Documents such as job descriptions, operating manuals, emergency procedures, accident, and "near-accident" records, can be useful sources of information about the task to be studied. Pipework and instrumentation diagrams can also be used to gain an insight into the complexity of the process, the type of control loops installed, and the process parameters to be manually controlled by the workers.
