While good written procedures can't guarantee zero accidents, they can reduce the number of accidents caused by human error. This new book shows how to remedy this problem through selecting and implementing actions that promote safe, efficient operations and maintenance, improve quality, continuity, profitability and cost control, build upon and record process experience, and promote the concept that operating and maintenance procedures are vital plChemical engineeringSafety measuresHandbooks, manuals, etcTechnical writingHandbooks, manuals, etcChemical engineeringSafety measuresTechnical writing660.28040684660/.2804/0684808.06666American Institute of Chemical Engineers.Center for Chemical Process Safety.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830077103321Guidelines for writing effective operating and maintenance procedures2290319UNINA
