Enhanced Inherent Safety Intervention Framework

Inherent safer design focuses on avoiding hazards rather than controlling them, especially by reducing the amount of hazardous materials or the number of hazardous operations in the plant. Usually, the assessment of safety in a plant is done towards the end of the process design stage, however inher...
