High Integrity Systems and Safety Management in Hazardous Industries serves as an overview of best practices as applied to high integrity systems, including their design, maintenance and regulation and detailed guidance to safety management processes as applied to hazardous industries. Simple operational errors and plant failures can be precursors of accidents. Large hazardous plants are complex multi-disciplinary systems that require a cross-disciplinary viewpoint for all safety-related personnel. This cross-disciplinary perspective can create a gap in understanding which this book aims to address. Furthermore, industries tend to exist in silos, where experiences in one industry may not be understood or communicated in others. Across three parts, this book introduces current key themes for all engineering managers of high-hazard plants, including aging plant, cyber security, crisis management, corporate social responsibility, and the significance of local culture to operational safety. This book will use real-world examples and a multi-disciplinary approach to case safety management to bridge the disciplinary gap and help our reader understand the latest advice and technology underpinning high integrity systems and safety management. This book will be an invaluable guide for industry professionals, researchers and students at graduate level or above working or researching in hazardous industries. This book will also be of interest to anyone working with high integrity systems in their research, particularly chemical engineers, and engineers. The management of safety in hazardous industries is a cross-disciplinary matter requiring various engineering disciplines to work together, as such this book takes a cross-disciplinary approach, and as such will be useful for researchers in all disciplines, not just those working in chemical engineering or engineering fields directly.
