This unique manual is a comprehensive, easy-to-read overview of hazards analysis as it applies to the process and allied industries. The book begins by building a background in the technical definition of risk, past industrial incidents and their impacts, ensuing legislation, and the language and terms of the risk field. It addresses the different types of structured analytical techniques for conducting Process Hazards Analyses (PHA), provides a "What If" checklist, and shows how to organize and set up PHA sessions. Other topics include layout and siting considerations, Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA), human factors, loss of containment, and PHA team leadership issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very practical - down to the facts,

This review is from: Guidelines for Process Hazards Analysis (PHA, HAZOP), Hazards Identification, and Risk Analysis (Paperback)
This is a very practical and probably one of the best books available for everyone who wants to understand the buzz words of Functional Safety.
The Process Hazards Analysis techniques should be read/studied and understood by all process/instrumentation engineers and plant managers. That would be a good start and avoid industrial incidents like Bhopal, Piper Alpha, Texas City and unfortunately some more to follow...

Hazard Analysis is ok,

This review is from: Guidelines for Process Hazards Analysis (PHA, HAZOP), Hazards Identification, and Risk Analysis (Paperback)
The presentation of material in this book is ok, as it covers most of the current day processes used in evaluating safety and process hazards and risks. The book does not bring all of the different methods of analysis into a consistent coherent dialog. Many of the terms used in one portion of the book are contradictry to other portions of the. Examples are the use of the terms likelihood vs. frequency vs. probability and risk analysis vs. risk assessment vs. risk management. Overall the price of this book ($160) is hard to justify for the content however there are not a lot of good books on this subject matter. I would recommend buying these types of books from professional societies whose members are Chemical Engineers, Proces Engineers or Safety Engineers.
