The book is divided into four parts. Part I covers topics such as the history of process hazards and attitudes in health and safety; laws concerned with the health and safety in the process industry; and the definitions of different terms related to health and safety. Part II discusses the electrical, chemical, and physical hazards in the process industries, as well as the dangers of flammability and corrosion. Part III talks about hazardChemical engineeringSafety measuresChemical engineeringSafety measures.660/.2804King Ralph W(Ralph William),1918-1516172MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789449803321Safety in the process industries3752459UNINA
