Our Newest Books from the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS)
of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE):
Recognizing Catastrophic Incident Warning Signs in the Process Industries
Catastrophic incident warning signs are indicators that something is wrong or about to go wrong. When we recognize and act on these indicators, a loss may be prevented. Of course, this will only happen when we know what to look for and are willing to take the initiative to do something about it. A review of significant incidents in the process industries suggests that most if not all incidents were preceded by warning signs. This concept book examines catastrophic incident warning signs related to:
- Leadership and culture
- Process safety information
- Procedures
- Asset integrity
- Analyzing risk and managing change
- Audits
- Learning from experience
- Physical warning signs
The book presents over 160 incident warning signs and provides actions you can take now for warning signs you detect in your facility. It provides a simple plan to consider for rigorous implementation and follow-up.
