Incidents are grouped by incident type including : reactive chemical, fires, explosions, environmental/toxic releases, and transportation incidents. The book also covers incidents from other industries that illustrate the safety management elements. The book builds on the first volume and adds incidents from China, India, Italy and Japan. Furthermore, at the time the first volume was being written, CCPS was developing a new generation of process safety management elements that were presented as risk based process safety, which are addressed in the incidents covered section"-- Provided by publisher.
