Current Issues in CPI
(Chemical Process Industry)
Factors
a)
Improper Process Design
Plants' complexity design
Complicated
control system
Severe processing conditions
(elevated T and P)
Special hazards by new chemicals
c)
Economic Downturn and Tight Competition
Major restructuring and cost cutting program
f)
Lack of Lesson Learning
Lessons learned were not fully utilised
Similar accidents are repeated
d)
Poor Distribution of Accident Information
Poor dissemination, input quality and insufficient information
b)
Poor Safety Knowledge
Brain-drain
and low resilience
e)
Poor Accident Analysis
Provide only specific information (difficult to be apply in general)
Lack of accident analysis to provide new knowledge and understanding
g)
Unbalanced Safety
Management Approach
Much emphasis given to outer layers of protection
Human centered safety
management difficult to maintain (Lack focus on process safety)
Discussion
/Recommendation
a)
Prevention Approach
Through inner layers
of protection
Consider first higher
hierarchy of control
b)
Prevention through Design
Safety consideration through process lifecycle
Bring large cost
and safety benefits
d)
Learning from Accidents
Know the causes of accidents
to predict accidents
Promote the usage of existing safety knowledge
c)
Improve the Knowledge and Experience Sharing
From design,
technical and operation aspects
Overcome the ‘corporate
forgetory’ and ‘brain-drain’ within organization.
