Hazard identification is fundamental to the safe design and operation of any system, be it a process plant or any other facility. The tools used vary according to the situation but they are all rigorous, systematic and depend to a greater or lesser extent on the knowledge of team members.

This book provides a selection guide that introduces, describes and illustrates the most commonly used techniques. The selection is based on an analysis of the more common techniques used by European Process Safety Centre members.
