Informationen zum Autor 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. Klappentext 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. Zusammenfassung A pre-startup safety review (PSSR) is the methodical analysis of a facility or operating unit to ensure no hazardous situations occur before operating a facility or plant. This book guides readers to integrate the PSSR throughout the project or turnaround phases of plant operations, with a verification check at the traditional PSSR step.
