Description This is a book for engineers that covers the hardware and software aspects of high-reliability safety systems, safety instrumentation
and shutdown systems as well as risk assessment techniques and the wider spectrum of industrial safety. Rather than another book on the
discipline of safety engineering, this is a thoroughly practical guide to the procedures and technology of safety in control and plant
engineering. This highly practical book focuses on efficiently implementing and assessing hazard studies, designing and applying international
safety practices and techniques, and ensuring high reliability in the safety and emergency shutdown of systems in your plant.
This book
will provide the reader with the most up-to-date standards for and information on each stage of the safety life cycle from the initial
evaluation of hazards through to the detailed engineering and maintenance of safety instrumented systems. It will help them develop the
ability to plan hazard and risk assessment studies, then design and implement and operate the safety systems and maintain and evaluate
them to ensure high reliability. Finally it will give the reader the knowledge to help prevent the massive devastation and destruction
that can be caused by today's highly technical computer controlled industrial environments.
Audience
Control and instrumentation engineers; industrial system integrators; electrical, mechanical and chemical engineers and technicians wishing
to understand the fundamentals of safety instrumentation and emergency shutdown systems.
