Developing Effective Safety Systems

If you have anything to do with safety systems in process operations, you will certainly welcome advice. And were better to get it than from a safety specialist who has spent more than 30 years in industry. His employers have included Du Pont -- a company synonymous with process safety -- Conoco, Sovereign/Neste Oy and EWI, the international safety and environmental consultancy. While with Sovereign Oil and Gas, he set up safety policies, procedures and systems from scratch. Now he has written down what he sees as the key factors in achieving a high standard of safe operations. First the principles and standards are spelled out, then the necessary training, followed by motivation and creation of a safety culture. The book considers hazards and risk levels, safe systems of work, occupational health hazards, safety audits, emergency programmes, the safety management system and more besides. All this is illustrated with detailed check lists and charts which provide practical guidance from start to finish.Wallace, Ian G. is the author of 'Developing Effective Safety Systems', published 1996 under ISBN 9780852953587 and ISBN 0852953585.
