SAFE08033 2019 Systems Safety and Risk Management

This module addresses systems safety concepts for risk management and accident prevention. 

We all know that safety should be an integral part of the systems that we build and operate. The public demands that they are protected from accidents, yet industry and government do not always know how to reach this common goal. This book gives engineers and managers working in companies and governments around the world a pragmatic and reasonable approach to system safety and risk assessment techniques. It explains in easy-to-understand language how to design workable safety management systems and implement tested solutions immediately. The book is intended for working engineers who know that they need to build safe systems, but arent sure where to start. To make it easy to get started quickly, it includes numerous real-life engineering examples. The books many practical tips and best practices explain not only how to prevent accidents, but also how to build safety into systems at a sensible price. The book also includes numerous case studies from real disasters that describe what went wrong and the lessons learned. See Whats New in the Second Edition: New chapter on developing government safety oversight programs and regulations, including designing and setting up a new safety regulatory body, developing safety regulatory oversight functions and governance, developing safety regulations, and how to avoid common mistakes in government oversight Significantly expanded chapter on safety management systems, with many practical applications from around the world and information about designing and building robust safety management systems, auditing them, gaining internal support, and creating a safety culture New and expanded case studies and "Notes from Nicks Files" (examples of practical applications from the authors extensive experience) Increased international focus on world-leading practices from multiple industries with practical examples, common mistakes to avoid, and new thinking about how to build sustainable safety management systems New material on safety culture, developing leading safety performance indicators, safety maturity model, auditing safety management systems, and setting up a safety knowledge management system

Gives insight into eliminating specific classes of hazards, while providing real case histories with valuable messages. There are practical sections on mechanical integrity, management of change, and incident investigation programs, along with a long list of helpful resources. New chapter in this edition covers accidents involving compressors, hoses and pumps. * Stay up to date on all the latest OSHA requirements, including the OSHA required Management of Change, Mechanical Integrity and Incident Investigation regulations. * Learn how to eliminate hazards in the design, operation and maintenance of chemical process plants & petroleum refineries. * World-renowned expert in process safety, Roy Sanders, shows you how to reduce risks in your plant. * Learn from the mistakes of others, so that your plant doesn't suffer the same fate. * Save lives, reduce loss, by following the principles outlined in this must-have text for process safety. There is no other book like it!

Provides a nuts-and-bolts understanding of current system safety practices Basic Guide to System Safety is an ideal primer for practicing occupational safety and health professionals and industrial safety engineers needing a quick introductionto system safety principles. Designed to familiarize the reader with the applicationof scientific and engineering principles for the timely identification of hazards, thisbook efficiently outlines the essentials of system safety and its impact on day-to-dayoccupational safety and health. Divided into two main parts - The System Safety Program and System Safety Analysis: Techniques and Methods - this easy-to-understand book covers: System safety concepts System safety program requirements Probability theory and statistical analysis Preliminary hazard analysis Failure mode and effect analysis Hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOP) and what-if analyses The Second Edition reflects current industry practices with a new chapter on the basic concepts, utility, and function of HAZOP and what-if analyses, two analytical techniques that have been routinely and successfully used in the petrochemical industry for decades. In addition, expanded coverage on the use of the job safety analysis (JSA) adds practical examples emphasizing its value and understanding.

This book explains, in detail, how to perform the most commonly used hazard analysis techniques employed by the system safety engineering discipline. The book also explains when and why to use each technique. The goal of this book is to explain each technique with sufficient detail and examples that the techniques can be easily understood and performed by the reader. The book is not overly technical, and can be easily understood by readers with a minimal amount of technical background. This book gathers the techniques safety analysts can apply into one reference source and describes them in a way that benefits both new and seasoned safety analysts. In addition, this book describes the three components that comprise a hazard, and how to use these components to recognized hazards during an analysis. It includes detailed examples that apply the methodology to everyday problems, making the concepts easier for the reader to grasp. The new edition updates the chapters with the latest information and includes new chapters on Concepts of Hazard Recognition, as well as chapters that address new techniques added in MIL-STD-882E and techniques that are becoming popular in different industries such as: Environmental Hazard Analysis, Process Hazard Analysis, Test Hazard Analysis, Job Hazard Analysis, and System of Systems Hazard Analysis
