This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a general Approved Code of Practice and guidance on the whole of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR), and is part of a series of publications including five other specialist Approved Codes of Practice which give guidance on specific provisions of the regulations. DSEAR set minimum requirements for the protection of workers from fire and explosion risks related to dangerous substances and potentially explosive atmospheres. The key requirements in DSEAR are that risks from dangerous substances are assessed and eliminated or reduced. The regulations revokes, repeals or modifies a large amount of old legislation relating to flammable substances and dusts. (HSE Website)
Download or read book Plant Design and Operations written by Ian Sutton and published by William Andrew. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Design and Operations provides practical guidance on the design, operation, and maintenance of process facilities. The book is based on years of hands-on experience gathered during the design and operation of a wide range of facilities in many different types of industry including chemicals, refining, offshore oil and gas, and pipelines. The book helps managers, engineers, operators, and maintenance specialists with advice and guidance that can be used right away in working situations. Each chapter provides information and guidance that can be used immediately. For example, the chapter on Energy Control Procedures describes seven levels of positive isolation — ranging from a closed block valve all the way to double block and bleed with line break. The Safety in Design chapter describes topics such as area classification, fire protection, stairways and platforms, fixed ladders, emergency showers, lighting, and alarms. Other areas covered in detail by the book include security, equipment, and transportation. A logical, practical guide to maintenance task organization is provided, from conducting a Job Hazards Analysis to the issue of a work permit, and to the shutdown and isolation of equipment. Common hazards are covered in detail, including flow problems, high pressure, corrosion, power failure, and many more. - Provides information to managers, engineers, operators and maintenance personnel which is immediately applicable to their operations - Supported by useful, real-world examples and experience from a wide range of facilities and industries - Includes guidance on occupational health and safety, industrial hygiene and personal protective equipment
Download or read book Safe Design and Construction of Machinery written by Elizabeth Bluff and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of this book is the compelling evidence that a high proportion of machinery-related deaths and injuries are attributable to genuine and serious risks originating within machine design and construction. This trend continues despite significant legal obligations, notably the European regulatory regime giving effect to the Machinery Directive (among others), and a substantial body of specialist knowledge originating in the disciplines of human factors and safety engineering. Grounded in empirical research with machinery manufacturers, this book aims to elucidate the factors and processes shaping firms’ performance for machinery safety, and considers their compatibility with legal obligations. Through a unique blending of rich empirical data coupled with safety, human factors, socio-legal and learning scholarship, the book provides both a nuanced account of firms’ performance for machinery safety, and makes conceptual and theoretical contributions to understanding and explaining their performance. Specifically, the book elucidates the role of knowledge and motivational factors - and how these are constituted - in shaping firms’ performance. It reveals the multiple state and non-state influences that create plural responses among manufacturing firms, which typically operate in supply chains and networks, and often globally. These insights provide the foundations to enhance regulatory design, and the book’s conclusion recommends some innovative directions for regulatory interventions to sustain the safe design and construction of machinery.
