In a split second, a facility can be faced with a life-threatening emergency. Stay ready.
In this newsletter, Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, explains the value of toxicity dispersion charts for emergency response plans and facility risk assessment, with examples generated using Process Safety Office® SuperChems® software.
Accurate representation of toxicity dispersion can help your facility in identifying potential incidents, mitigating them with appropriate controls put in place, and preparing more reliable emergency response plan guidelines. The data from Emergency Response and Process Hazards Analysis (ERPHA) charts help improve the quality and efficiency of your Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) and risk assessment studies.
Emergency response plan guidelines prepared well in advance of potential emergencies provide facilities with a more reliable and quicker alternative to real-time data reports.
Bonus! This newsletter also includes access to a complimentary webinar presented by seasoned process risk and reliability management expert Ram Goyal. He will discuss several compelling incident reports from the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board in the United States and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in the United Kingdom. Methods for identifying systemic, procedural, or design flaws are shared, as well as the human factors that go into both the remediation process (implementing action items) and the learning process.
Have a great and safe day.
