Inherent safety, ethics and human error
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2008A patient is to have the damaged left kidney removed. To safeguard correctness of action several layers of expert checks have been performed prior to the operation, which results in the removal of the fully functional right kidney. Nobody asked the patient. The patient did not volunteer providing "unnecessary" information. The experts know everything ..

Advances in inherent safety guidance
Process Safety Progress, 2008AbstractThe classic reference from CCPS “Inherently Safer Chemical Processes, A Life Cycle Approach”, 1st edition, 1996, was updated in 2006–2007. The goal of this book is to influence the future state of chemical process evolution by illustrating and emphasizing the merits of integrating process research, development, and design into a comprehensive ...

Export inherent safety NOT risk
Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 2005Abstract The author presents a personal view that production of bulk chemicals and the attendant risks are being transferred from developed to developing nations. Some evidence is presented on the transfer of production. The transferred risk is increased because of the larger scale plants that are now built in locales that are less able to cope with ...

A simple graphical method for measuring inherent safety
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2003Inherently safer design (ISD) concepts have been with us for over two decades since their elaboration by Kletz [Chem. Ind. 9 (1978) 124]. Interest has really taken off globally since the early nineties after several major mishaps occurred during the eighties (Bhopal, Mexico city, Piper-alfa, Philips Petroleum, to name a few).

Advancing inherent safety into methodology
Process Safety Progress, 1997AbstractCompetition in commodity centered chemicals, in the Chemical Process Industry (CPI), has led many chemical companies to consider cost reduction in every facet of their businesses. Once the obvious fixed cost control measures are achieved, the invention, development, and commercialization of new and existing products is questioned for cost ...

Incorporation of inherent safety principles in process safety management
Process Safety Progress, 2007AbstractProcess safety management (PSM) deals with the identification, understanding, and control of process hazards to prevent process‐related injuries and incidents. Explicit incorporation of the principles of inherent safety in the basic definition and functional operation of the various PSM elements can help to improve the quality of the safety ...

The inherent safety of cadmium pigments
Environmental Technology Letters, 1981Abstract Cadmium has the biological characteristics of an essential nutrient and evidence does not clearly link its exposure to human hypertension. Thus, the concept that the use of cadmium pigments should be banned because their incineration may pose a hazard to human health calls for reappraisal.

Process synthesis with simultaneous consideration of inherent safety-inherent risk footprint
Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering, 2018Process plants should be designed to be economically viable and environmentally friendly, while also being operable and maintainable during process implementation. The safety of processes is among the most important considerations in obtaining results that are more acceptably realistic, as it is linked to the availability and reliability of the process.

Inherent/Passive Safety for Fusion
Fusion Technology, 1986Fusion's success depends on having attractive safety and economic features. One of fusion's inherent advantages is the potential for being safer than other technologies. We should work toward making the potential become a demonstrable, cost-saving reality.

Safety is an inherently inconsistent concept
Safety Science, 2012Abstract Some basic principles for philosophical definition work are introduced and then applied to safety and related concepts. Definitions are provided first for comparative safety concepts such as “safer than” and then for the monadic “safe”. It is shown that “safe” is an inherently inconsistent concept, i.e.
