Download or read book Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics written by National Academy of Engineering and National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-08-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics is a corporate-focused analysis that brings clarity and practicality to the complex issues of environmental metrics in industry. The book examines the metrics implications to businesses as their responsibilities expand beyond the factory gateâ€"upstream to suppliers and downstream to products and services. It examines implications that arise from greater demand for comparability of metrics among businesses by the investment community and environmental interest groups. The controversy over what sustainable development means for businesses is also addressed. Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics identifies the most useful metrics based on case studies from four industriesâ€"automotive, chemical, electronics, and pulp and paperâ€"and includes specific corporate examples. It contains goals and recommendations for public and private sector players interested in encouraging the broader use of metrics to improve industrial environmental performance and those interested in addressing the tough issues of prioritization, weighting of metrics for meaningful comparability, and the longer term metrics needs presented by sustainable development.

Download or read book Risk Analysis and Reduction in the Chemical Process Industry written by J.M. Santamaría Ramiro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern for the environment has become one of the big issues in modern society, and one of the chief concerns is the environmental impact of modern industrial production. A particularly sensitive issue is the possibility of accidents in industries where there may be severe consequences for people, property and the environment. At one time the nuclear industry was seen as the most likely to be the cause of significant environmental damage, but after the occurrence of several major accidents such as Seveso, Flixborough and Bhopal, that concern extends to much of the chemicals industry. Pressure from society, reflected by strong legislation, coupled with a greater understanding of the impact that chemical processing operations can have, has led to the adoption of higher profile safety and environmental management programs within the chemical industry. Under these programmes existing and new processes are rigorously examined to determine the possible causes and consequences of failure, and the results used to improve the process to make failure less likely. Any process audit, aimed at improving safety or lessening the environmental impact, cannot be carried out using intuition or experience alone, so the discipline of risk analysis has grown as a collection of tools and methods which can be utilized to give a quantitative assessment of the risks involved in operating any given process. In this new book the authors present risk analysis and reduction in a clear and unified way, emphasizing the various different methods which can be used together in a global approach to risk analysis in the chemical process industries. Originally conceived as a text book for graduate level courses in chemical engineering, the clear presentation and thorough coverage will ensure that anyone involved in risk assessment, environmental impact assessment or safety planning will find this book an invaluable source of reference.
Download or read book A Guide to Safety in the Pharmaceutical or Chemical Industry written by Dr. Shmmon Ahmad and published by Kindle Direct Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-14 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After many years of industrial experience in the Pharmaceutical Industry, serving as a Quality Assurance Officer and Production Officer, I felt compelled to share my insights. Throughout my career in various manufacturing companies, I witnessed a series of mishaps, accidents, injuries, near misses, fires, and other incidents that underscored a critical issue. It became evident that even seasoned safety professionals often lacked a comprehensive understanding of the techniques, terminology, procedures, and systems essential for assessing, measuring, and applying the necessary tools to achieve the desired safety performance. My journey eventually led me to the role of an educator at Glocal University Saharanpur, where I taught Quality Assurance subjects. In my opinion, these subjects require continuous evaluation and updating to remain relevant in an ever-evolving industrial landscape. I firmly believe that certain topics hold paramount importance, particularly for safety professionals and management personnel responsible for safety management within their organizations. This book delves into topics such as management responsibility, attitudinal problems, behaviour, safety thinking, motivation for creating a safety culture, and communication challenges. These subjects are approached from a practical standpoint, making them readily applicable to day-to-day safety administration. While extensive information and literature exist on motivation and communication, their specific applications in the realm of occupational safety and loss prevention are relatively scarce. I aspire to offer this book as a valuable resource to safety professionals, safety advisors and representatives, and industry line managers to improving plant facility design, training for operation and maintenance staff, and the development of safe operating procedures. Its purpose is to unravel what has gone wrong in the past and provide guidance on preventing similar incidents in the future. Regrettably, history has shown that many incidents tend to recur after a few months, often due to people moving on and lessons being forgotten. Among the various teaching methods, experiential learning has proven the most effective, as it helps retain subject matter for an extended period. Should you come across an incident described in this book that appears to have taken place in your plant, please be aware that certain details may have been altered. This alteration is intended to make it challenging for readers to pinpoint the exact location of the incident or to simplify complex narratives without compromising the core message. In some cases, the incident may not have occurred in your plant at all; it may have taken place in a different facility facing similar circumstances."
Download or read book Industrial Hazards and Plant Safety written by Sanjoy Banerjee and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-11-27 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a new and analytical approach to chemical plant safety-encompassing design, construction, and operation to reduce the likelihood of hazardous incidents as well as actions to mitigate their consequences should they still occur. The most significant safety issues are addressed both from the viewpoint of the fundamental phenomena and the perspective of plant design. Many of the phenomena covered are outside the scope of the normal chemical engineering curriculae; examples include compressible multiphase flow, deflagrations and detonations, turbulent dispersion, thermochemical characterization methods for material decomposition and reactions. In the plant design area, topics of importance include built in redundancy of equipment, and minimization of inventory of hazardous materials. The combination of the fundamental and applied aspects makes this book a unique and useful one for both the academic and industrial sectors.
