More Incidents that Define Process Safety book describes over 50
incidents which have had a significant impact on the chemical industry
as well as the basic elements of process safety. Each incident is
presented in sufficient detail to gain an understanding of root causes
for the event with a focus on lessons learned and the impact the
incident had on process safety. Incidents are grouped by incident type
including Reactive chemical; Fires; Explosions; Environmental/toxic
releases; and Transportation incidents. The book also covers incidents
from other industries that illustrate the safety management elements.
The book builds on the first volume and adds incidents from China,
India, Italy and Japan. Further at the time the first volume was being
written, CCPS was developing a new generation of process safety
management elements that were presented as risk based process safety;
these elements are addressed in the incidents covered.
