About the Book

The book covers the whole gamut of issues concerning disaster management and emergency responses in an industrial situation. Disasters could be either Technological or Natural. This book deals with only the technological disasters with some discussions on natural causes and elaborates on the strategies of industrial preparedness in effectively handling such situations with least consequences in terms of loss of lives, property and environmental degradation, above all the company reputation. The book starts with the discussions on root-cause analysis of incidents and emergencies through “Why-why” process and covers prevention and safety issues in terms of plant and equipment layout, built-in-safety provisions on vital equipments and facilities, considerations on electrical hazardous areas and the needed protections, Safety Integrity Levels etc. On prevention of chemical accidents, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), hazardous waste landfill site management issues etc. have been included with safety precautions of handling various chemicals in “Do’s & Don’ts” form. Principles of sustainable development have been discussed through the concept of what is called the “Precautionary principle” with respect to hazardous chemicals. To conclude, it can be emphasized that this book is specific to the aspect of industrial disaster management and contains everything from safety planning, preparedness, mitigation and management issues that would certainly be useful to students of engineering and management apart from industry safety and other professionals. Also civil authorities and local population centres will be benefitted from the information contained in the book. Institutional and Industrial libraries would find it suitable as a reference.
