Description
This second volume of a two-part guidebook contains practical, tutorial-style engineering articles and tip sheets originally published in Chemical Engineering. The focus is on broad, plant-wide safety practices, with engineering guidance for reducing risks to personnel, plant operations, and the environment. Topics include monitoring high temperatures, managing static electricity, preventing fire and explosions, laboratory safety, waste handling, dust control, and proper use of protective gear, among others. Specific plant equipment such as rotating machinery, vacuum systems, burners, and flares are addressed in detail.
