Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"I find this book offers an excellent mix of rigorous technical calculations to support risk quantification in a wide range of cases and practical knowledge which is what gives it a real value within the available literature. It would be excellent as a textbook for safety courses in chemical engineering programmes in higher education but it is equally an excellent reference for graduates starting their careers or practicing engineers." --The Chemical Engineer
