Integrating Supply Chain and Facility Risk Analyses For Improved Business Decisions
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Typically, business supply chain risks are managed separately from fixed facility risks. However, where significant fixed site risk reduction can negatively impact a supply chain, a study that addresses both the supply ...
Designs that Lacked Inherent Safety: Case Histories
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
The fundamentals of Inherently Safer Design were not fully appreciated in the initial design (or re-design) in the following series of case histories. Two case histories involving the basic element of plant layout to ...
Updated CCPS Investigation Guidelines Book
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Incident investigation standards and performance criteria continue to improve. In recognition, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) undertook a major project to upgrade and update the Incident Investigation ...
The Use of Aerosol Formation, Flammability, and Explosion Information for Heat Transfer Fluid Selection
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
The devastating consequences of aerosol/mist explosions have been widely documented, and there are currently efforts to understand the mechanisms of the formation and explosion of such aerosols. Heat transfer fluids are ...
Experiences in the Regulation of Inherent Safety
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Inherent Safety is a worthwhile process risk management strategy to employ, and efforts to implement inherently safer strategies should be given first priority, as it is feasible. But regulating the use of inherent safety ...
A Simplified Risk-Based Approach for Analyzing Human Factors
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Human factors issues are critically important to process safety performance, and approaches are available to manage these risks. But most process safety management (PSM) programs do not formally address human factors as ...
The Importance of Multiphase and Multicomponent Modeling in Consequence and Risk Analysis
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
The ability to accurately predict the consequences of a hazardous fluid release is dependent on three things: the knowledge of the modeler, the quality of the model that is used, and the quality of the input parameters. ...
Practical Applications Approach to Design, Development and Implementation of an Integrated Management System
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
The introduction of Quality, Risk, Safety and Environmental management philosophies has significantly changed industry's view of company organization and controlling processes. Quality, Risk, Safety, Health and Environmental ...
A Practical Approach to Fire Hazard Analysis for Offshore Structures
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
Offshore quantitative risk assessments (QRA) have historically been complex and costly. For large offshore design projects, the level of detail required for a detailed QRA is often not available until well into the detailed ...
Using Screening Test Data to Classify Reactive Chemicals Hazards
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2002)
The evaluation of reactive hazards is necessary for the safe working of the chemical process industries. An integral aspect of reactive hazard testing is the screening of chemicals to focus experimental efforts on the more ...
