Safety Moment #69: That Would Be Telling
The Kletz Legacy
One of the founders of the process safety discipline was Trevor Kletz (1922-2013). Probably his best eulogy is also the simplest, "He saved lives."
Safety Moment #60: Risk Perception
The material in this article to do with risk perception is taken from the book Process Risk and Reliability Management.
Risk perception is fundamentally a subjective matter; no matter how hard analysts strive to make the topic objective the fact remains that, as Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once said, A truth ceases to be a truth as soon as two people perceive it.

Standard Examples
We have developed a set of process safety management standard examples that are used to illustrate some of the concepts and ideas developed in our publications.

A process consists of four operating units and a utilities section. A schematic of the system is shown in Figure 1.
Systems Completion, Commissioning and Start-up
Did you know that from the perspective of an investor, it is the Commissioning & Start-Up (CSU) phase that defines the project as a success or failure? When a project has been fully commissioned and started-up, it is likely the project will also be a financial success, with investors receiving their expected returns. When a project has not been fully commissioned and is then started-up, it is highly unlikely the project could ever be a financial success. From an investor's perspective, the project is a disaster.
