Lord Cullen in his report on the Piper Alpha disaster has, in effect, suggested that the experience gained in the control of major hazards onshore during the 1980s should be applied to improve safety offshore during the 1990s. This major three-day symposium organized by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, reviews what has been learned so far with regard to major hazards and considers its present and future applications both onshore and offshore. Topics covered in this volume are wide ranging and deal with all aspects of legislation the application of regulations/techniques for evaluating hazards and prescribing safety measures in design/construction and operation/the importance of the human factors, and recent technical developments in protective measures relief venting and predicting the consequences of fires and explosions. The book is aimed at chemical engineers and risk assessment specialists.
