Handbook for process safety in laboratories and pilot plants : a risk-based approach / Center for Chemical Process Safety, American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

In Handbook for Process Safety in Laboratories and Pilot Plants: A Risk-based Approach, the Center for Chemical Process Safety delivers a comprehensive and authoritative presentation of process safety procedures and methods for use in laboratories and pilot plants (LAPPs). Of the four broad hazard categories - chemical, physical, biological, and ionizing radiation - this book focuses on the two most common: chemical and physical hazards. It addresses the storage and handling of the hazardous materials associated with activities commonly performed in LAPPs and presents many of the physical and chemical analytical techniques used to verify and validate the efficacy of safety management systems. This book will present tools and techniques for effectively managing the risks in any laboratory or pilot plant using engineered and administrative controls, as well as the CCPS Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS) Management Systems.
