Hazards by their definition are not always obvious. The history of the process industry is littered with incidents where the hazard was not even recognized. There is a need to use the appropriate technique to find them and then determine the best solution for that hazard. A Guide to Hazard Identification Methods, Second Edition, gives a description and examples of the most common techniques leading to a safer and more reliable chemical process industry. This new edition has previous sections revised, brought up-to-date and linked to further sources. Furthermore, new elements include a more detailed account of purpose; Black Swan events; human factors; auditing and QA; more examples and discussion of major incidents; HAZID; Task analysis.
