Safer Design Strategies

Chapter 2 introduced four strategies for inherently safer design  

---

These inherently safer design strategies are discussed in more detail in Chapter 3, and examples can also be found in Chapter 4, which discusses inherently safer design opportunities through the life cycle of a chemical process. 

Figure 2.Z. The relationship/ between ptrocess risk management and inherently safer design strategies.

Additional discussion regarding reactor design strategies is covered in Section 3.1 on minimization (as an inherently safer design strategy), and in Section 4.4 on Design and Construction. 

The discussion in the following sections is not comprehensive it is intended to provide examples. The inherently safer design strategy (see Section 2.6) used in most of the examples is Simf lify. 

Hazard and Risk Analysis Consideration should be given to identifying process hazards as early as possible in the process equipment design, so that measures can be taken to reduce or eliminate the hazards. Inherently safer design strategies, such as minimize, substitute, moderate, and simplify, should be implemented.
