Risk and Safety

Risk and Safety

I had been  away from writing blog posts for last 3 months or so…mainly because of my travel to S. Korea. I have also been kept busy working on adding advanced features to Risk and Safety site. I will unveil them in the coming few months.

I hope to get back to writing blog posts regularly.For the moment, I would like to direct your attention to one of the earliest blog post I wrote – Safety Forecast for the 21st Century. I concluded that “Every decade in the 21st century, the process industry will witness an incident that will result in at least 10 fatalities.” In particular, I want you to notice John Westover’s (http://www.process-engineers.com/) comment at the bottom of the post.

We are far from zero incident plants!
