Engineering Safer Chemistry: Building Safety Into Processes, Plants and Production
Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing can involve reactive substances, pressure, temperature and materials requiring careful containment and control. Effective process safety therefore begins with understanding hazards and designing systems capable of preventing incidents before they occur. This edition examines how engineering, instrumentation, monitoring and operating practices contribute to safer chemical production. It explores hazard identification, containment, process control and plant design while emphasising the importance of building safety into processes rather than treating it as an additional layer.
Editor's Note
Safety in chemical manufacturing is created through engineering decisions made throughout the life of a process. Equipment design, instrumentation, operating limits and human procedures all contribute to controlling hazards. This edition examines process safety as a fundamental part of chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing and explores how technology can strengthen prevention while recognising that effective safety ultimately depends on disciplined engineering and operating culture.
