Opis

This book provides guidance on -what- can be done from a management systems perspective to identify hazards and manage risks of -loss of containment- events in chemical laboratories and pilot plants. It provides examples of -how to- implement such practices and descriptions of a range of typically encountered process safety hazards typical controls based on current best practices.
