System Safety Engineering and Risk Assessment A Practical Approach 

As described in Chapter 2, one thing that CCPS is not doing is standing still. In its Vision 2020, it has codified five tenets and four societal themes, which govern their focus for the near-term future. 

Develop and maintain written safety information identifying workplace chemical and process hazards, equipment used in the processes, and technology used in the processes. 

Perform a workplace hazard assessment, including, as appropriate, identification of potential sources of accidental releases, identification of any previous release within the facility that had a potential for catastrophic consequences in the workplace, estimation of worlqtlace effects of a range of releases, and estimation of the health and safety effects of such a range on employees.
