Chemical Process Safety
                     Chemical Process Safety
Chemical process safety is a science-based 
engineering discipline that seeks to understand and 
quantify the risks of injury and loss of life, property 
damage, business interruption, environmental 
damage and other undesirable consequences that 
may occur as a result of chemical manufacturing 
activities. 
Chemical process safety is an integral part of the design, 
operation and economics of chemical manufacturing 
facilities.

Chemical process safety provides a framework 
for the identification, evaluation and control of 
the hazards involved in chemical processing. 
Its principles are embodied in codes, 
standards, regulations and practices which 
guide the design and operation of chemical 
manufacturing facilities.
It also provides a basis for planning for offsite 
emergency response and for training 
manufacturing personnel.
Chemical process safety involves both 
management systems (such as policies and 
procedures) and technical systems (e.g., 
engineering design).
It's also called process safety management, and 
it's defined as "the application of knowledge and 
tools to prevent releases of hazardous chemicals 
where the consequences in terms of human injury 
or environmental damage would be large.
" It's about everything from choosing the right 
equipment for a job, to the training of people 
who work with hazardous materials, to how 
you store them and dispose of them.
Process safety management is a huge topic, 
and it's impossible to cover it in any detail in a 
short article. This essay will only touch on 
some key elements of process safety 
management, with an emphasis on areas that I 
think are often overlooked or misunderstood.
