Routine Checks of Safety Systems

A chemical plant is changing continually. People come and go, sources of raw materials vary, alternative suppliers of equipment have to be used, the plant gets older, and so on. To ensure that design intentions and safety standards are preserved, a system of monitoring the state of the process, plant and procedures is necessary. This can take two forms scheduled checks on trips and alarms, and safety audits. (See also case histories A1 99, page 194.) [Pg.139]
