Since 1985, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) has been the world leader in developing and disseminating information on process safety management and technology. CCPS, an industry technology alliance of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), has published over 80 books in its process safety guidelines and process safety concepts series.

"This book will be a most valuable reference source for any chemical engineer who has to conduct or be involved in hazard evaluation studies." (Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, November 2008)
