Intended to assist in the management of process hazards. The objective of this publication is to help prevent the occurrence of, or minimize the consequences of, catastrophic releases of toxic or explosive materials. It addresses the management of process hazards in design, construction, start-up, operation, inspection, maintenance and modification of facilities with the potential for catastrophic release.
