Chemical Processes Safety Risks Control and Management

Abstract

The established practices of safety and risks control and management at designed and operating chemical processes are reviewed within the framework of the general theory for complex systems control and management in a historical retrospective. The prediction (image of the end result) of the 3rd generation is revealed by using conceptual apparatus in the field of safety for engineering and operating that was presented in [1]. The developed theory solves a significant practical issue — the rational (in a format of standardized work) processes, and roles and responsibilities;  minimum necessary requirements for tools and key performance indicators are justified to control / manage process safety risks at each production level — operative (shift supervisor), tactical (unit superintendent) and strategic (director, business manager) are presented. The obtained results show that (only) third generation systems for controlling and managing process safety risks are able to implement in practice within a reasonable time frame the accomplishment of ZERO safety objective. Thus, setting the production objective “no hurt to people, no harm to the environment and no damage to business” makes sense in chemical industry due to the fact that accomplishing of such an objective is feasible and reasonably practicable.
