30 years of Loss Prevention Bulletin
IChemE is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its journal, the Loss Prevention Bulletin (LPB).
Health and safety training packages come on CD-ROM
The IChemE has updated three of its major training packages.
BP and the IChemE have joined forces to make the booklets, which describe hazards and how to manage them, available to a wider audience.
The first four titles from the series were published at the Hazards XVIII Symposium in Manchester this week.
The booklets focus on hazardous incidents in the refining industry.
They offer a quick and easy reference guide for operators and managers alike with key information being presented in simple terms.
Their usefulness and popularity has been highlighted by Roy Sanders, author of "Chemical process safety: learning from case histories", who includes the booklets in his list of "The best seven books on chemical process safety from a process engineers viewpoint".
The booklets were originally developed to support in-house training at BP but their appeal was such that demand, both within BP and beyond, outstripped supply.
BP has now formed a partnership with IChemE to meet the ongoing demand.
"The booklets are written by the BP Process Safety Network and endorsed by IChemE, demonstrating the commitment of both organisations to process safety and dissemination of best practice", says BP Central Safety Team's Frederic Gil.
"IChemE is a well regarded publisher and we are sure the success and popularity of the 'Sharing the experience' series will continue to grow".
The four titles published this week are: "Hazards of steam", "Hazards of air and steam", "Hazards of water" and "Hazards of nitrogen and catalyst handling".
Other titles in the series will be available in 2005.
