Process Safety for Engineers

Process Safety for Engineers: An Introduction, 2nd Edition, introduces foundational process safety management concepts and explains how to apply them to reduce operational risks. Written by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) and published by Wiley-AIChE, the textbook presents fundamental methods for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating industrial hazards.

The volume covers the CCPS Risk Based Process Safety framework alongside key hazard categories, including fire and explosion, reactive chemicals, and toxicity. It also addresses design strategies for hazard control, operational risk management, and approaches to monitoring safety performance.

Designed for students, new engineers, and professionals entering the field, each chapter opens with an incident case study to illustrate practical applications of safety principles.
