The book begins with a rather apt quotation:
It is preferable to expend resources eliminating a problem than to expend resources dealing with its effects (Ward and Jeff).
This is what this short text is all about. How do we design process plants with accident and disaster events planned out of them. This is the crux of the question set by the author. He deals with the topic in his usual freely written style which is a pleasure to read. The topic is complex, but the writing style makes the arguments easy to follow.
The flow of the topic matter is supplemented by pertinent case studies.
This text complements the other reviewed above and the pair make good additions to the bookshelf, but they would not be there very often. They will certainly not gather dust.
