The #1 Process Safety Guide Worldwide, Reorganized for Today's Learners and Expanded to Address Emerging Hazards

Process safety continues to evolve as a critical, interdisciplinary field focused on preventing large-scale industrial accidents and ensuring the integrity of systems handling hazardous substances. Chemical Process Safety, Fifth Edition, builds on its legacy as the definitive guide by introducing a powerful new framework that helps students and practicing engineers connect hazards, risk, and decision-making in real-world settings

This extensively revised edition reorganizes core concepts around six essential process safety questions, enabling a clearer, more flexible approach to teaching and learning. New and expanded coverage includes biological hazards and their management, broadening the scope of process safety for today’s diverse engineering environments.

Maintaining its hallmark balance of theory and application, the book integrates equations, calculations, case studies, and homework problems to help readers not only understand concepts but apply them effectively in practice.

Readers will gain practical insight into

A comprehensive process safety framework linking hazards, consequences, likelihood, and risk
Characterization and control of hazards, including chemical, physical, and biological risks
Industrial decision-making using risk-based approaches
Dispersion, explosions, toxicity, and other consequence-modeling techniques
Risk assessment methodologies such as Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA)
Strategies for prevention, mitigation, and safe process design

Serving both as a primary textbook and a professional reference, this edition supports a wide range of learning and application needs, from introductory courses to advanced engineering practice.
