Plant Design for Safety

This book examines current practices in chemical plants and also suggests ways for improvement. It is based on "Cheaper, Safer Plants or Health and Safety at Work - Notes on inherently Safer and Simpler Plants", published in 1984, but has been updated and augmented with other ways of making plants more "user friendly". This book is also essential reading for students and senior managers because it encourages the design of plants that can tolerate human error or equipment failure without serious effects on safety, output and efficiency.
