Process Safety for Engineers
Familiarizes an engineer new to process safety with the concept of process safety management
In this significantly revised second edition of Process Safety for Engineers: An Introduction, CCPS delivers a comprehensive book showing how Process Safety concepts are used to reduce operational risks. Students, new engineers, and others new to process safety will benefit from this book.
In this updated edition, each chapter begins with a detailed incident case study, provides steps that help address issues, and contains problem sets which can be assigned to students.
The second edition covers:
- Process Safety: including an overview of CCPS' Risk Based Process Safety
- Hazards: specifically fire and explosion, reactive chemical, and toxicity
- Design considerations for hazard control: including Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis
- Management of operational risk: including management of change
In addition, the book presents how Process Safety performance is monitored and sustained. The associated online resources are linked to the latest online CCPS resources and lectures.

1.2 Target Audience
1.3 Process Safety â What Is It?
Process Safety â A disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes handling hazardous substances by applying good design principles, engineering, and operating practices. Note: Process safety focuses on efforts to reduce process safety risks associated with processes handling hazardous materials and energies. Process safety efforts help reduce the frequency and consequences of potential incidents. These incidents include toxic or flammable material releases (loss events), resulting in toxic effects, fires, or explosions. The incident impact includes harm to people (injuries, fatalities), harm to the environment, property damage, production losses, and adverse business publicity. (CCPS Glossary) | |
âProcess safety hazards can give rise to major accidents involving the release of potentially dangerous materials, the release of energy (such as fires and explosions), or both. Process safety incidents can have catastrophic effects and can result in multiple injuries and fatalities, as well as substantial economic, property, and environmental damage. Process safety refinery incidents can affect workers inside the refinery and members of the public who reside nearby. Process safety in a refinery involves the prevention of leaks, spills, equipment malfunctions, overâpressures, excessive temperatures, corrosion, metal fatigue, and other similar conditions. Process safety programs focus on the design and engineering of facilities, hazard assessments, management of change, inspection, testing, and maintenance of equipment, effective alarms, effective process control, procedures, training of personnel, and human factors.â (CSB 2007)
