Short description Many books have been published on hazard and risk assessment, but until A Practical Approach to Hazard Identification - for Operations and Maintenance Workers, the role of the operator and front line supervisor in recognizing hazards was ignored. For those on the front line in preventing fires, explosions, and toxic releases at chemical plants and refineries, A Practical Approach to Hazard Identification - for Operations and Maintenance Workers will serve as a heavily illustrated, hands-on field guide for recognizing hazards and taking steps to correct them before they become catastrophes.
