Introduction to Process Safety for Undergraduates and Engineers by CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety). This book is intended to be used as reference material for either a stand-alone process safety course or as supplemental material for existing curricula. This book is not a technical book; rather, the intent of the material is to familiarize the student or an engineer new to process safety with The concept of process safety management (PSM), The 20 elements of process safety defined by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), The need for process safety as illustrated by examples of major process safety incidents that have occurred, Process safety tasks for other engineering disciplines and Process safety concerns with some selected unit operations. The CCPS Technical Steering Committee initiated the creation of this book to assist colleges and universities in meeting this challenge and to aid Chemical Engineering programs in meeting recent accreditation requirements for including process safety into the chemical engineering curricula.
