Abstract
The preceding chapter explored many technical aspects of chemical process safety and some safety management systems that form the foundation of a comprehensive emergency preparedness program. Clearly, the first step in preparing for emergencies is to identify and mitigate the conditions that might cause them. This process starts early in the design phase of a chemical facility, and continues throughout its life. The objective is to prevent emergencies by eliminating hazards wherever possible.
