Process engineer, hazard assessment responsibility

Used for SIL determination. Is a relatively new method, developed by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (CCPS) group in response to the requirements of ISA S84.01 and was formally published in 2001. It effectively combines a number of different techniques into a composite method that is well tailored to assessing process risks and development of hazardous scenarios. 

The purpose of this guidebook, written by Barton and Rogers for the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), is to provide a basis for good practice in assessing reactive hazards. It is written for those responsible for design and operation of chemical plants. It addresses hazards from uncontrolled exothermic activity in batch and semibatch chemical reaction systems as well as associated process equipment.
