Linking Engineering Standards with Process Safety Managemnet Systems
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
The techniques of Process Safety Management (PSM) are now an integral part of the operations of process plants in the United States. As the name implies, Process Safety Management is fundamentally a management standard; ...
Reactive Chemical Screening - A Widespread Weak Link?
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
It is an accepted practice in the fine chemical industry that feeds, products and intermediates for which thermal stability data is unavailable, are first “screened” and depending on the results, might then be subjected ...
Practical Approaches to Benchmarking
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 1999)
Benchmarking is a very effective tool to improve performance. It provides a systematic approach to identify and learn about best practices. However, there are many pitfalls associated with benchmarking that can make it a ...
