“…This is in accordance with the guiding principle of unit segregation (the avoidance of domino or cascade effects) which is often considered to be an example of the inherent safety principle of moderation —specifically limitation of effects . Examples where greater attention to facility siting and plot plan review (temporary as well as capital) would have assisted with consequence mitigation include the administration and control buildings at Flixborough [22] and the contractor trailers at the BP Texas City refinery [23].…”

Process 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 management effort.Numerous inherent safety examples, both technical and nontechnical, are given in this paper. Existing qualitative and quantitative tools that already include, or could incorporate, inherent safety are described. Recently developed inherent safety tools for quantitative hazard identification and assessment are identified from either the literature or the current authors' work. Qualitative protocols for incorporating inherent safety into PSM elements are also presented. The language of inherent safety, although largely unused in PSM documentation, has a key role to play in enhancing the effectiveness of PSM.

“…This model was further evaluated with a rectangular footprint (Patsiatzis & Papageorgiou, 2002) and it incorporates the Dow Fire and Explosion Index (F&EI) as a risk analysis tool for evaluating new and existing plants (AIChE, 1994;Patsiatzis, Knight, & Papageorgiou, 2004). Other researchers have focused on risk evaluation of layout designs of particular cases at the conceptual level (Cozzani, Tugnoli, & Salzano, 2007;Paterson, Tam, Moros, & WardGittos, 2000;Sanders, 2003).…”
