About this title

Synopsis

If you are writing Operating Procedures or developing a process safety program, this practical, sensible book - which is based on years of experience in a wide variety of industries - will provide you with useful guidance.

Writing Operating Procedures For Process Plants helps you organize a procedures-writing project so as to produce a high quality manual - one that the operators will want to use - as efficiently and as quickly as possible. The book also describes how to write procedures so as to meet process safety management requirements. The book emphasizes practical issues such as:

a) How to write procedures that can be kept up to date. b) How to develop a five volume structure that clearly distinguishes between operating instructions, information, emergency operations, troubleshooting and commissioning. c) How to manage a procedure-writing project. d) Types of emergency procedures and response plan. e) How to link procedures with other elements of Process Safety Management - particularly Process Safety Information, Management of Change and Training. f) How to select the appropriate level of detail. g) How to define operating limits, and how they should be used.
