Industrial Safety, Risk Assessment and Shutdown Systems - Dave Macdonald
Published by Elsevier under the Newnes imprint
This is a book for engineers that covers the hardware and software aspects of high-reliability
safety systems, safety instrumentation and shutdown systems as well as risk assessment
techniques and the wider spectrum of industrial safety. Rather than another book
on the discipline of safety engineering, this is a thoroughly practical guide to
the procedures and technology of safety in control and plant engineering. Audience
Control and instrumentation engineers; industrial system integrators; electrical,
mechanical and chemical engineers and technicians wishing to understand the fundamentals
of safety instrumentation and emergency shutdown systems.

Machinery Safety - Dave Macdonald
Published by Elsevier under the Newnes imprint
This book aims to provide you with the knowledge to tackle machinery safety control
problems at a basic and practical level whilst achieving compliance with national
and international standards. The book highlights the major international standards
that are used to support compliance with EU regulations and uses these standards
as a basis for the design procedures. It looks at the risk assessment processes used
to identify hazards and to quantify the risks inherent in a machine. It introduces
the concepts of safety categories as defined by standard EN954-1 (Safety of Machinery)
and illustrates the principles of failsafe design, fault tolerance and self-testing.
Hazops, trips and alarms - Dave Macdonald
Published by Elsevier under the Newnes imprint
Do you have trips and safety interlocks in your plant? Are they good enough or are
they perhaps over-designed and much more expensive than necessary? Are you or your
company aware of how Hazard Studies should define risk reduction requirements? Are
you actually using Hazard Studies at all? The answer is the integrated approach to
safety management. New international standards combined with well-proven hazard study
methods can improve safety management in your company. Practical Hazops, Trips and
Alarms describes the role of hazard studies in risk management, and then proceeds
with basic training in Hazop techniques.
