Inhaltsangabe

Do you have trips and safety interlocks in your plant? Are they good enough or are they perhaps over-designed and much more expensive than necessary? Are you or your company aware of how Hazard Studies should define risk reduction requirements? Are you actually using Hazard Studies at all? The answer is the integrated approach to safety management. New international standards combined with well-proven hazard study methods can improve safety management in your company. Practical Hazops, Trips and Alarms for Engineers and Technicians describes the role of hazard studies in risk management, and then proceeds with basic training in Hazop techniques. A number of practical exercises support the reference information and allow you to test your understanding of the material in the book. This book aims to bridge the discipline gap between hazard studies and the provision of safety-related alarm and trip systems. It provides training in hazard and operability methods (Hazops) and in the principles of safety instrumented systems as defined by international standard IEC 61508.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dave Macdonald has throughout his career been involved in the application of instrumentation and control technology to industrial and chemical processes. As a senior instrument engineer with AECI Ltd he specialised in managing the complete design cycle for process control systems from conceptual design to commissioning. He has also developed and lectured a post-graduate course in Industrial Control Systems. Dave has been closely involved in hazard studies for new chemical plants and in the implementation of safety instrumented systems. His expertise ranging from field instrumentation to software quality assurance is particularly relevant to this subject.. In the past few years Dave has lectured on Safety Instrumentation and related topics to many hundreds of Engineers and Technicians in Ireland, Canada the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A truly integrated safety management system will deliver trips and safety interlocks that deliver a high degree of safety without being costly and overdesigned. This book explores how to gain the benefits of more integrated safety systems, and how to develop systems within the framework set out by international standards, including IEC61508 on safety instrumented systems.
This book also provides a solid grounding in the role played by Hazops (Hazard and Operability studies), explaining how to carry them out, how to understand their findings, and what to do next. The section on Hazops summarises the identification of risk reduction requirements, and how to build a risk reduction strategy into an integrated safety system.
A number of practical exercises support the reference information and allow you to test your understanding of the material in the book.
