Introduction

The basic concept behind Best Practice for this area is that of “Inherently Safer Design”. This idea is based on the idea of safety being a primary consideration at every stage of the design progress in finding ways to remove risks from the process, rather than putting up barriers between them.

This is a focus from initial feasibility studies right through till the final implemented design, including the process selected, plant layout, unit operations included and the general safety of all personal surroundings that may be affected by the plant. Additionally it should be ensured that these considerations should be used to adjust the design process to ensure problems are adverted.
