Project 292: Driving Continuous Process Safety Improvement from Investigated Incidents

Over the years, the US Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has made numerous recommendations to various parties in an attempt to improve Process Safety performance and to ensure that catastrophic incidents are prevented. This project will take a look at the best recommendations and learnings brought forward by the CSB and will provide content to help companies institutionalize these learnings within their own organizations. The CSB, through using actual incidents, often does a great job as to demonstrating why companies need to take action relative to certain hazards. This project would then build...

Project 291: Abnormal Situation Management

Develop guidance for and a reference guide to techniques for Abnormal Situation Management (ASM). This project would develop a guidebook, with references, for concepts, tools and techniques to identify, control and mitigate abnormal process safety conditions.

Project 290: Process Safety Toolbox

Develop a sharing forum and online set of process safety tools for use by practicing engineers, along the lines of toolbox.com (which serves the IT community).

Project 289: Process Safety Golden Rules and Key Principles

One of the most critical aspects of Process Safety is to know the hazards that one is dealing with, yet in too many incidents we realize that there was a knowledge gap in understanding the hazards. The goal of this project is to identify two to three technologies (e. g. FCC operations, Chlorine Chemistry, Nitration Chemistry, Peroxides, Combustible Dust, etc..) that have seen numerous incidents, have high hazards, and/or are highly utilized and Organize a team of process safety and process technology experts to develop a set of rules and tenants that serve the foundation for process safety...
