Process Reliability Using Risk Management Techniques

It is increasingly important for managers and engineers in the process industries to make their plans environmentally safer and economically more reliable. This volume aims to bring risk management techniques to reliability engineering for increased safety, productivity, customer satisfaction and profitability. The author discusses the environmental and economic risks arising from accidents, and presents information on both equipment and human performance error. Included is material on popular risk management tools such as HAZOP, FMEA, and fault trees, as well as real life process-orientated examples. This book should be of interest to chemical and other engineers working in design, operations, maintenance, safety and in all areas of the chemical process industry.
