Plant Safety Model

Part I presents an overview of the book where scope, problem definition and solution significance are explained. It presents the background and similar research work done in this area. Also it describes the approach followed along with the theoretical and methodological framework developed to achieve the stated research objective. In this section, the plant safety model is presented as the base of designing CAPE-SAFE within PEEE. 

Propose conceptual framework to represent safety aspects in plant safety model where we could manage to abstract plant lifecycle safety aspects and propose opportunities to represent within plant enterprise engineering environment. 

As the proposed plant safety model is aiming to cover all activities in the plant lifecycle to ensure safe plant activities, it is difficult to achieve that without having a systematic approach to abstract plant lifecycle... 

Select and adopt safety international standard regulations Synthesize safety procedures from the plant safety model Build and manage accident database that includes accident data from the current plant and other plants using plant service providers via Internet... 

Safety historical data has been highlighted as part of the conceptual plant safety model. Figure 3-11 showed the detailed data groups of safety historical data component where safety historical data is divided into two parts plant specifications, which covers all specification changes due to design, operation, or any other process throughout the plant lifecycle and accident/incident data, which includes plant, events, process, equipment, cause, consequence, and procedures in-place.
