Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

At last, a book that covers safety procedures and standards with information that is rarely available outside of proprietary materials. A comprehensive source for basic and essential operations and procedures in use in any facility, the book offers chemical operators and first line supervisors guidance in applying appropriate practices to prevent accidents, and suggests which practices to avoid.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- Materials/Chemicals handling -- Process equipment and procedures -- General topics -- Cleanup and process changeover -- Training -- Special procedures and programs.
