Hazard identification management

Process risk management Management of residual risk through hazard identification, risk assessment and reduction, emergency preparedness, and working with suppliers and customers (including carriers) apply... 

Hazard identification is the first step in process risk management. In order for this procedure to be adequately utilized, the hazard identification team must... 

Management must modify the culture and develop human factors awareness in the hazard identification teams so that they will be capable of identifying the potential for human error. A good practice is to involve operators in the hazard identification team. 

Considerable interest has been generated in hazard identification and risk analysis techniques, which provide a systematic means to help reduce and manage chemical process risks. CCPS has undertaken a series of Guidelines covering many aspects of the subjects to provide the latest information and useful techniques for the engineer in the...

Proper hazardous waste identification is essential to the success of the hazardous waste management program. The RCRA regulations require that any person who produces or generates a waste must determine if that waste is hazardous. For this purpose, the RCRA includes the following steps in the hazardous waste identification process2 ... 

The commonly used management systems directed toward eliminating the existence of hazards include safety reviews, safety audits, hazard identification techniques, checklists, and proper application of technical knowledge. 

In addition to the evaluation of chemical process hazards, and the proper applications of the evaluation to process design and operation, the management systems are important to assure operation of the facilities as intended. Brief introductions into hazard identification and quantification, and into management controls from the perspective of process safety are presented in Chapter 4. Future trends are also briefly reviewed here. 

Hazard identification is akin to the qualitative prediction of impacts in EIA and is largely accomplished when the EIA is performed independently of, or prior to, an ERA. The potentially significant risks are often identified because of experience elsewhere with similar materials, processes, ecosystems, and conditions. This step is immediately useful to management and helps to sharpen the question posed in the...

Member companies are required to have programs to manage reactive hazards that address, at a minimum, hazard identification, hazard evaluation, management of change, inherently safer design, and adequate procedures and training.

Understanding and identifying reactive hazards is a key component of process knowledge. It is often the first activity in managing reactive hazards and may occur early in product research or in process development. Ineffective hazard identification is commonly cited as a cause of reactive incidents. Where... 

Good management practices include not only hazard identification and evaluation early in R D, but also issues such as MOC throughout the life of the chemical manufacturing process. The existing body of...
