There is much specialist material written about different elements of managing risks of hazardous industries, such as hazard identification, risk analysis, and risk management. Managing Risk and Reliability of Process Plants provides a systematic and integrated coverage of all these elements in sufficient detail for the reader to be able to pursue more detailed study of particular elements or topics from a good appreciation of the whole field. The reader would use this book to keep up to date with new developments and, if they are new to the job, to learn more about the subject. The text includes a chapter of case studies and worked examples - including examples of risk assessments, which is consistent with the approach taken throughout the book of applying real-life scenarios and approaches.

* Provides a source for reasonable understanding across the whole field of risk management and risk assessment.

* Focuses on the how, what, and why of risk management using a consistent and well organized writing style interspersed with case studies, examples, exercises, as well as end matter.

* Fills a need in the area of risk assessment and risk management in the process and chemical engineering industry as an essential multi-audience reference/resource tool, useful to managers and students.

5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable reference, December 24, 2003
By 
This review is from: Managing Risk and Reliability of Process Plants (Hardcover)
The book is an important contribution to the risk management of process facilities. It will be valuable to those seeking an accessible introduction to the field and also to practitioners seeking a comprehensive and thoughtful reference. The book's strength lies in the integration of descriptive material and quantitative techniques, supported by lessons learned and case studies. The balanced explanations of theory combined with worked numerical examples and practical guidance on applying risk management methods will assist process plant professionals to better manage risk. The breadth of detailed coverage is impressive. It is rare that a single work can provide good guidance on modelling dust explosions and provide valuable lessons on auditing process facilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Guide, November 10, 2003
By 
This review is from: Managing Risk and Reliability of Process Plants (Hardcover)
This book by Mark Tweeddale is an excellent reference book on risk assessment of process plants. It provides a balanced review of many risk methods and processes. It also extends into risk reduction and management with many practical examples.
I have already used it on four different occasions for confirming risk assessment processes. A 'must have' for all practitioners.
