Investigation of Process Safety Management (PSM) Approach for Process Industries: Operating Procedures (OP)

Unexpected releases of highly hazardous chemicals have occurred numerous times in process industries. One of the keys contributing factors that could prevent these accidents are by managing operating procedures according to established standards. One of the established industrial standards to manage...
