Industrial plants contain large quantities of hazardous chemicals that must be kept under control. These materials are explosive, toxic or corrosive. Inherently safer process design is therefore essential and is fundamental to the further improvement in safety and environmental performance in the chemical industry.

• Inherent safety concept and benefits  

• Examples of inherently safer designs  

• The road to inherently designs    

• Simpler plants - specification and flexibility. 

• Limits in removing risks  

The course is intended to familiarize those engaged in the design and operation of plants with the concept of inherently safe design. It provides all the training support needed to ensure that principles of inherent safety are understood and applied to new as well as existing plant designs.
