Chemical Process Safety
Chemical Process Safety refers to the discipline focused on preventing and mitigating accidents in chemical manufacturing and processing. It involves identifying potential hazards, assessing risks, and implementing safety measures to protect workers, the environment, and the surrounding community.
Key elements of Chemical Process Safety include proper training for personnel, regular safety audits, and the use of safety equipment. Techniques such as Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) and Process Safety Management (PSM) are commonly employed to ensure that processes are safe and compliant with regulations.
