HAZOP and HAZAN,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hazop & Hazan: Identifying and Assessing Process Industry Hazards, Fouth Edition (Hardcover)
The book is very incoherent and, the flow of the subject is not at all smooth. The author does not seem to know, how to present scientific and logical facts and, then build on a subject. He has a tendency to completely off the tangent. If I say anything more, it will only look very rude and mean spirited. If possible, I would have given this book a zero star but, alas that is not possible. So, I will give it a one star.
Amazon should strongly think about having a policy as to how to deal with possible return of such kind books wherein the customer is very unhappy. I would instead anyday recommend the book 'Safety Integrity Level Selection' by Marszal and Schrapf for clear and logical presentation for the subject.

A clear and concise introduction,
By
This review is from: Hazop & Hazan: Identifying and Assessing Process Industry Hazards, Fouth Edition (Hardcover)
A clearly written book usefull as an introduction to HAZOP & HAZAN. But the hundreds of references also allow the reader to delve deeper if desired. Should be on the bookshelf of every process engineer.
