Engineering, safety role

He is currently associated with the Occidental Petroleum Corporation as corporate-wide Risk Engineering Advisor, with previous roles as Facilities Engineering Advisor and Senior Fire Protection Engineer. He has also been associated with Lockheed, Marathon Oil and Boeing in various risk and safety roles. 

It is important to obtain the input from experts in process engineering, safety, health, and environmental engineering to assess the consequences of a failure (COP). Considering the example of an uncontrollable fluid release, the following three factors would play a dominant role in the consequence assessment ...

The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICliE) wishes to thank the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) and those involved in its operation, including its many sponsors whose funding and technical support made this project possible. Particular thanks are due to the members of the Batch Reaction Subcommittee for their enthusiasm, tireless effort and technical contributions. Members of the subcommittee played a major role in the writing of this book by suggesting examples, by offering failure scenarios for the major equipment covered in the book and by suggesting possible solutions to the various Con-cerns/Issues mentioned in the tables. 

Often an organization will strive for the elimination of a specific toxic material from a given process. Alternatives will also have other hazards and risks that require an informed choice. The industrial hygienist, chemist, and safety engineer play an important role in developing the information for making the selection between alternatives. 

Chapter 1, The Role of Human Error in Chemical Process Safety, discusses the importance of reducing human error to an effective process safety effort at the plant. The engineers, managers, and process plant personnel in the CPI need to replace a perspective that has a blame and punishment view of error with a systems viewpoint that sees error as a mismatch between human capabilities and demands. 

Chemical engineering undergraduate eurricula have traditionally been designed to train students for employment in the conventional chemical processing industries. The eurrent core emrieulum is remarkably successful in this effort. Chemical engineers will continue to play a major role in the ehemical and petroleum industries, but new areas of application as well as new emphases on environmental protection process safety and advanced computation, design, and proeess control will require some modifications of the curriculiun.
