Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Cost effective safety means prioritizing and targeting effort to where it does most good. With chemical and other hazardous installations, major accident experience has demonstrated the value of the preferential hierarchy of risk reduction measures of avoidance, control and mitigation. The need for everyone involved in the process industries to understand the demands of the COMAH regulations and to be able to explain safety methodologies to regulators and the public is of prime importance. It is the aim of the 40 contributions in this volume to facilitate this.
