| Abstract |
The Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is expanding the opportunity for interdisciplinary co-operation and education by producing a series of guidelines publications on the technical and scientific issues critical to the prevention and mitigation of major releases of toxic materials. Several guidelines contain specific examples that illustrate how industrial hygienists, engineers, and others can use the guidelines to help address chemical process safety problems. Another CCPS activity involves an effort to include an awareness of health, safety, and loss prevention as an integral part of undergraduate chemical engineering education. For practicing engineers and industrial hygienists, a number of continuing education courses on topics such as process hazard analysis, process risk assessment, and process safety are offered by the AIChE. |
