Offers professional industrial process safety and loss prevention information. This title covers legislation, engineering and design and includes topics such as: law; major hazard control; economics and insurance; reliability engineering; hazard identification; hazard assessment; process design; pressure system design; and, more.
Safety in the process industries is critical for those who work with chemicals and hazardous substances or processes. The field of loss prevention is, and continues to be, of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, and Lees’ is a detailed reference to defending against hazards. Recognized as the standard work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals, it provides the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing three volume reference instead.

M. Sam Mannan, PhD, PE, CSP, is a chemical engineering professor and director of the Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center at Texas A&M University. He is an internationally recognized expert on process safety and risk assessment. His research interests include hazard assessment and risk analysis, flammable and toxic gas cloud dispersion modeling, inherently safer design, reactive chemicals and run--away reactions, aerosols, and abnormal situation management.
