Focus of the Different Inherent Safety Reviews

In the chemistry forming inherent safety review, the team will cover such things as  

Moderate Use less hazardous conditions Reduce wastes  

During process hazards reviews (such as HAZOP), inherent safety concepts are also considered. Mistake proofing the design should receive attention and each safety critical device (last line of defense) and safety critical procedure should be examined to see if there is a way to eliminate the need for the device or procedure. 

When the inherent safety process has been expanded to review regular or routine operation, the team will look at all aspects of inherent safety to provide suggested improvements for both the existing facility and for the next plant.
