Speaker: • Richard W. Sarnie, Director, CCPS Projects at the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS), AIChE Bio.
In this presentation, Richard W. Sarnie, Director, Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) Projects, will discuss lessons learned and re-learned over decades in manufacturing and cold-storage facilities on preventing and mitigating process safety incidents (Loss of Containment events). He will explain how these lessons learned can, and should be, applied across many types of manufacturing and cold-storage operations, such as those in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, among others.
Mr. Sarnie will:
• Present a rationale as to why a risk-based rather than regulatory-based approach to managing process safety and other risk exposures is prudent
• Discuss the continuing movement by many organizations to more formal and comprehensive enterprise risk management systems
• Review the typical steps,or phases, an organization usually takes in developing and improving management system processes
• Provide an overview of chemical industry best practices for managing process safety (with a focus on AIChE CCPS recommendations, as described in the book "Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety," and many other CCPS safety titles)
• Describe numerous process safety management system deficiencies (root causes) associated with serious chemical process safety incidents that have repeatedly occurred during the last 50+ years
• Discuss how proven process safety management practices and use of multiple layers of protection can help better manage risks in manufacturing and cold-storage facilities.
