About the Author :
THE CENTER FOR CHEMICAL PROCESS SAFETY (CCPS) was established by AIChE in 1985 to study and develop engineering and management practices that help prevent or mitigate catastrophic process safety accidents. CCPS publications provide the latest guidelines for the production, storage, and handling of flammable, explosive, and reactive materials. With the help of CCPS, companies can operate facilities safely and measure their own practices against today's most accepted industry practices.

Review :
"This book comes with a CD-ROM which includes a variety of helpful resources, including additional pictures, special hazard identification presentations, worksheets, and checklists. Moreover, case studies show how the concepts and techniques discussed in the book can be applied in real-world situations." (RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal, 1 April 2011)
