This book describes the safe handling of hazardous substances and the need of safety culture throughout our society. With a special study of the Bhopal gas tragedy and Mexico LPG disaster, it seeks to examine the underlying causes of the failure of safety management, the comparison of different chemical disasters, failure of land use planning policies, developments and the emergency handling policies.
It further seeks to explain the details of LPG disasters, effects of consequence assessment models, evaluation of investigation results and the external pressure relating to disaster management. Tracing the causes of the industrial disasters, it discusses at length the inadequate training of employees, lack of awareness about the danger of disasters, inadequate preparedness and their solutions. The contemporary methods for process safety and incident investigation with elaborate examples find place in the book as well.
