Expert insight and guidance on integrating safety into design to
significantly reduce risks to people, systems, property, and
communities Safe design refers to the integration of hazard
identification and risk assessment methods early in the design
process so as to eliminate or minimize the risks of catastrophic
failure throughout the life of a system, process, product, or
service. This book provides engineers, designers, scientists and
governmental officials with the knowledge and tools needed to
seamlessly incorporate safety into the design of civil, industrial,
and agricultural installations, as well as transportation systems,
so as to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. The
methodology described in Safety in Design originates from the
continuous safeguarding techniques first developed in the chemical
industry and can successfully be applied to a range of industrial
and civil settings. While the author focuses mainly on the aspects
of safe design, he also addresses procedures which have a proven
track record of preventing and alleviating the impacts of accidents
with existing designs. He shares lessons learned from his nearly
half-century of experience in the field and provides accounts of
mishaps which could have been prevented, or significantly
mitigated, based on data collected from approximately seventy
incidents that have occurred in various countries. - Describes the
application of safe design in an array of fields, including the
chemical industry, transportation, farming, the building trade, and
leisure - Reviews the history of intrinsic process safeguarding,
which was first used in the chemical industry to minimize the risk
of human error or instrumentation failure - Describes dozens of
preventable incidents to illustrate the critical role safe design
can play - Provides expert guidance and valuable tools for
seamlessly weaving safety into every phase of the design process
Safety in Design is an indispensable working resource for chemical,
civil, mechanical, risk, and safety engineers, as well as
professional R&D scientists, and process safety professionals.
It is also a useful reference for insurers who deal with
catastrophic loss potentials, and for government personnel who
regulate or monitor industrial plants and procedures, traffic
systems, and more.
