Instrumentation (Arthur D. Little, Inc., and Levine, 1986.) Instrument systems are an essential part of the safe design and operation of systems for storing and handling highly toxic hazardous materials. They are key elements of systems to eliminate the threat of conditions that could result in loss of containment. They are also used for early detection of releases so that mitigating ac tion can be taken before these releases result in serious effects on people in the plant or in the public sector, or on the environment.

The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) identified the need for a publication dealing with process safety issues unique to batch reaction systems. Guidelines for Process Safety in Batch Reaction Systems, is the result of a project begun in 1997 in which a group of volunteer professionals representing major chemical, pharmaceutical and hydrocarbon processing companies, worked with Arthur D. Little Inc., to produce a book that attempts to describe the safe design and operation of batch reaction systems. The objectives of the book are to... 

AICliE and CCPS would also like to express their appreciation to Arthur D. Little, Inc. for their contribution in preparing this book for publication. It is the collective industrial experience and know-how of the subcommittee members plus the experience and expertise of Arthur D. Little, Inc. that makes this book especially valuable to the process and design engineer. Dr. Georges A. Melhem was the Director-in-Charge of this project, for Arthur D. Little, Inc. Dr. Sanjeev Mohindra of Arthur D. Little, Inc. was the author and Christina Hourican handled the somewhat complex word processing for this project.

Arthur D. Little, Inc., Cambridge, Massachusetts, was the contractor who prepared these Guidelines. R. Scott Stricoff was Arthur D. Little s Project Director. The principal author was Mary I. Woodell. Key contributors included Henry Ozogand David Webb. Tracey Martensen s contribution to manuscript preparation was invaluable. 

Exhibits 2-5 and 2-6 are modified sample lists of programs and elements for an actual company (here called Xmple, Inc.) drawn from the files of Arthur D. Little. These are in addition to the PSM requirements shown in Exhibit 2-4. You should develop similar lists for your company. These can usually be obtained from PSM and ESH manuals or the specialist staff who support the programs and elements. Be careful to make sure you understand the scope of each program, as the titles can sometimes be a little misleading. For example, spill response may cover only measures to be taken to stop further spillage, while containment and clean-up are covered under emergency response. 

Quality Management systems have demonstrated their effectiveness in providing efficient, flexible management processes. However, in many instances they have failed to deliver their promises in full and in some cases have failed completely. These failures have been ascribed to cultural obstacles that were not identified during the design process. In a recent survey of 350 senior executives Arthur D. Little, Inc. found that 68 percent of the companies reported unanticipated problems with their change process.
