Good Place to Start - 2002-02-19
Reviewer Rating:
While lacking in detail, I have found this book a good place to start when it comes to safety equipment and strategies for handling other problems with volatile organic chemicals. In this industry specialization is rare. Engineers need a place to start so that they can get the language right before proceeding to the internet and vendors. The worked-out problems are good but you will find you need to go to the source for details. As I said, a good place to start.

Clear, straightforward textbook describing quantitiative methods to evaluate a range of process safety issues. Appropriate balance of theory and application. Real world examples with solved problems.
