The company or facility should make use of the services of an engineer knowledgeable and trained in fire protection. Ideally, a registered fire protection engineer should be available to review fire protection designs. Fire safety, loss prevention, or process safety engineers should assist in the analysis of hazards, selection of protection system specifications, approval of the system, and acceptance testing. 

In todays world, process safety engineers responsible for process areas covered by the... 

Jeff Joseck is a staff engineer with Union Carbide. He developed this clever quiz and kindly offered it for publication. It stimulates the Process Safety Engineer or the Loss Prevention Engineer to think about acceptable and minimal risks. A few minor changes were made in Jeff s quiz to better fit the style of this chapter. 

Any item that the second-level supervisor or the process safety engineer believes requires additional examination. 

Dr. Frank P. Lees s Loss Prevention in the Process Industries Hazard Identification, Assessment and Control, Second Edition, ISBN 0750615478. This is a three-volume set published by Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford, UK, 1996. Dr. Frank Lees s epic three-volume masterpiece is without a doubt the premier source of practical and statistical process safety reference material. Within the 3,962 pages of valuable facts, nearly every aspect of process safety is covered. The information is useful to process safety engineers, engineers in the process industries, insurance professionals,... 

In an ideal world, an easy-to-contact, responsive modifications man would be available for questions generated in Operations, Engineering, and Maintenance. This modifications man could be a Process Safety Engineer, Loss Prevention Engineer, or a mechanical or chemical engineer who has been trained in chemical process safety. Preferably, this individual would be an on-site plant employee, but he could be a company regional engineer, a property insurance consultant, or a contractor. The modifications man must understand basic loss-prevention principles of proper layout. 

The systematic analysis of possibly occurring maloperations and process deviations as well as the assessment of their consequences is quite a demanding task, which must be solved in process safety engineering. The problem arises because of the close... 

There is a special reason for treating this topic of process safety engineering here despite the existence of extensive literature. It is necessary to reduce the risk, which is... 

The efficiency of the method is mainly influenced by the amount of information available at the time of application. The effort is usually rather limited. The user, however, should have a good training in process safety engineering in order to be able to apply this kind of evaluation in a more flexible way than the pure checklist method. Furthermore, it is highly recommended to include the later user of the plant into this analysis. This actually is a recommendation which is not limited to this method, but valid for numerous other methods described in the following. 

On the other hand there are parts of the complete safety concept characterized by a unified approach, which has been developed due to systematic research and industrial experience. In consequence, some have become standardized in technical regulations or have at least become state of the art of process safety engineering. 

Those responsible for the project engineering of such a plant, who often have access to less than 50 % of the information on the chemistry to be performed later due to the reasons mentioned, can come up with only one recommendation if they seriously wish to meet the demand for a design for the worst possible case leave the lid off the reactor. The lack of practicability of this proposal, not least due to the violation of other process safety engineering principles, does not need to be elaborated any further. 

PHA (Process Hazard Analysis) Study PHA study during FEED stage is crucial as it may require changing some or a major part of the project due to process safety risks. It has potential to escalate the project cost significantly. PHA study is conducted by the PHA leader, who is a highly qualified process/safety engineer with many years of operations and...
