The manufacture, handling and use of dangerous substances are major hazards – not only to workers but also to members of the public nearby, assets and the environment. Process safety considers these major hazards and assesses how to control them; in particular, by containing dangerous substances and pressurised systems and keeping them under control.
Effective process safety management should minimise major accidents such as fires and explosions. The EI’s Process Safety Committee is focused on providing guidance on process safety issues.
Given several recent major accidents, process safety is particularly topical.
