"Process Safety: Key Concepts and Practical Approaches is written in language that appeals to a broad spectrum of experience, so that beginners and experts alike can appreciate their role in constructing, operating, and maintaining safe industrial processes. Illustrations are used to develop impressionable lessons that are more likely to be retained. The book applies these illustrations to modern incidents so that the reader can instantly understand the application of process safety principles on the processes they control. By interweaving together process safety principles and their practical application, the book achieves a level of cohesive understanding needed to get results. It bridges together all of the process safety elements into a uniform system that only succeeds when all of the subparts work together as a whole."Kenneth Bloch, Marathon Petroleum Company, Texas City, Texas, USA "presents a complete and comprehensive introduction to Process Safety. The emphasis given to the importance of plant leadership participation and commitment to Process Safety as a key factor of success is differential from other publications in the area. In addition to covering the fundamentals of Process Safety, the book also includes case studies to illustrate the application and effectiveness of the correct management. a must read for process safety engineers, safety professionals, process engineers and process industry plants leadership." Eduardo de Maio Francisco, E&I DuPont de Nemours & Co, Brazil "an excellent and concise review of process safety management by authors with a wide range of industrial, academic, and consulting experience. It is particularly valuable for readers whose primary job function is not process safety, but rather process research, design, line management, executive management, and other roles which have a significant impact on process safety." Dennis C. Hendershot, Independent Process Safety Consultant, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA "I thought the content was excellent, well presented, and easy to read. I especially liked the sections on how to improve various aspects of process safety, which should prove beneficial to many companies in the process industries." Michael P.
