_Domino Effects in the Process Industries_ discusses state-of-the-art
theories, conceptual models, insights and practical issues surrounding
large-scale knock-on accidents—so-called domino effects—in the
chemical and process industries. The book treats such extremely
low-frequency phenomena from a technological perspective, studying
possible causes and introducing several approaches to assess and
control the risks of these scenarios. The authors also examine these
events from a managerial viewpoint, discussing single and multi-plant
management insights and requirements to take pro-active measures to
prevent such events. Academics, regulators, and industrialists who
study and analyze domino effects in order to prevent such events will
find the book unique and highly valuable.
* Outlines available methods in analyzing these events, aiding
understanding of the accidents and their causes
* Covers current modelling, control and management tactics of domino
effects, -facilitating prevention
* Identifies areas where new research is needed
