From the publisher
From the rear cover
This book describes approximately fifty incidents that have had a significant impact on the chemical and refining industries' approaches to modern process safety. Events are described in detail so readers get a fundamental understanding of the root causes, the consequences, the lessons learned, and actions that can prevent a recurrence. There are exhaustive investigative reports about these events; the goal of this reference is to consolidate and archive concise information on representative incidents that are relevant today so readers can apply the resulting safety principles to their current operations.
