Summary
Summary
This book provides guidance to those with responsibility for scheduling and executing a Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR). It outlines a protocol and tool for use by project or turnaround teams, to effectively and efficiently schedule and execute a PSSR. Integrates PSSR throughout the project/turnaround phases, with a verification check at the traditional PSSR step Supports a "right first time" and "check only once" project philosophy to eliminate surprises Features how-to checklists, hazard assessment, batch and continuous processes, validation, and documentation Includes a CD with PSSR checklists and PSSR management system examples.
Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.
Author Notes
Since 1985, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) has been the world leader in developing and disseminating information on process safety management and technology. CCPS, an industry technology alliance of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), has published over 80 books in its process safety guidelines and process safety concepts series.
