Numerous injuries and fatalities in chemical laboratories the United States over past few decades have suggested need to take measures that go beyond mere compliance toward promoting safer practices. A collaboration between Center for Innovative Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources Purdue Process Safety Assurance assessed current safety culture at their academic industrial partners by conducting surveys. Key areas improvement were identified from responses surveys, which if addressed...
Abstract Many think of process safety incidents as loss containment events in the chemical and refining industries. In this work, we note severe/catastrophic across a wide spectrum 14 industries, including agriculture, food, fireworks, manufacturing, mining. Eighty‐one were reviewed, generally at least three per industry, well noteworthy historic incidents. We searched for global significance terms lives lost, damage, environmental impact, focusing on during century with availability modern...
The safety and security of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities has prompted the need for continued study LNG mitigation systems. Water-spray curtains are widely recognized as an effective measure dispersing vapor clouds (Martinsen et al.Hydrocarbon Process. 1977, 56, 260−267). Currently, there no engineering guidelines available water-curtain applications in industry because a lack understanding complex interactions between cloud water droplets. This work applies computational fluid...
This article explores new process safety metrics for measuring performance in the chemical processing industry. While Process Safety Management enables an operation to optimize their programs and organizational risks, there is emerging need evaluate implementation across organization through measurement of key indicators. Lagging utilize incidents as numerator divide it by appropriate process‐related denominator or “normalization factor.” Currently, work hours used extensively a...
In the past several years, U.S. Chemical Safety Board has found an increase in frequency of laboratory accidents and injuries. An independent survey industrial academic laboratories by authors indicated shortage documentation on best practices lack free user-friendly risk assessment tools to be some key reasons for occurrence safety incidents. Thus, development a framework document, assess, mitigate hazards is critical starting point ensuring safe practices. To address this requirement,...
