Sample pages of Process Risk Management Ebook.

The Process Risk Management Ebook - Ian Sutton uses methods such as risk tree analysis
combined with process safety information to help you gain an accurate operational risk
assessment. This 272 page HSE book is a must read for the HSE Manager and those studying
process hazards analysis. Excellent safety and environmental performance in the process
industries does not happen by chance: after all, most process facilities handle large
quantities of toxic, flammable and explosive materials, often at high temperature and
pressure. Such processes are inherently hazardous. Therefore process risk must be properly
understood and managed. An effective risk management program has three elements. First,
the program must be properly grounded in theory. Second, risk management has to be based
practical. Many risk analyses are theoretically interesting, but they do not provide much
practical help to managers, operators and engineers working on operating facilities and on
projects. The third element in an effective risk management program is the appropriate
use of both the -hard- and -soft- approaches to both analysis and follow-up. The -hard-
approach relies on the use of formal models, quantitative data and an objective
examination of equipment and instrumentation. The -soft- approach, on the other hand, is
oriented more toward understanding people and their behaviors. The best risk management
programs and this book, combine both approaches.
