Lees' Loss Prevention in the Process Industries Volume 3

Safety in the process industries is critical for those who work with chemicals and hazardous substances or processes. The field of loss prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, and Lees’ Loss Prevention in the Process Industry is a detailed reference to defending against hazards. Recognized as the standard work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals, it provides the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing three volume reference instead.

The fully revised and updated volume 3 of Lees Loss Prevention in the Process Industries supports volumes 1 and 2 in the set. It explains the background leading to the regulations, standards and methods, and provides a basic understanding of related functions within an organization as well as providing references for those needing additional information or explanation. The volume focuses on learning the lessons from real life examples, providing up-to-date information on regulations, standards and related responsibilities, and includes numerous case studies. The book is an invaluable source for all levels of expertise including engineers, managers, operations and maintenance personnel, as well as process safety and loss prevention specialists. Technical personnel associated with these industries will also find it useful in executing their duties.
