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

Hazard Analysis is ok
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...

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.
