Publications

The Safety and Health Division is involved with several publications through AIChE.  

Process Safety Progre​ss: This quarterly publication of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers covers areas related to the safe processing, manufacturing, storage and shipping of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and hydrocarbons.

• The focus fo PSP is on process safety, loss prevention, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance.  The mission of PSP is to help managers, engineers, and educators incorporate safety principles into process design, research and development, facility operations, management, and the education of current and future chemical engineers.
• Topics addressed include incident hazards evaluation, industrial hygiene/occupational health, fire and explosion analysis, vapor cloud dispersions, risk assessment, safety management, training, education, equipment integrity (mechanical and electrical), maintenance (reliability and integrity), emergency response, investigations/case histories, regulatory compliance, security, and areas associated with process safety and loss prevention.
• The S&H Division Newsletter is included in each issue. 

CCPS Guidance: In addition, S&H Division members volunteer their time and expertise on technical committees to write and review publications developed by the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS).  Over 100 Guidelines and Concept books have been published for those that produce, store, and handle flammable, explosive and reactive materials.  Using the CCPS library, companies can address the full range of process safety challenges, from inherently safer process design, to hazard evaluation and safe design, to advanced process safety management practices, and to incident investigation.

• CCPS Guideline and Concept books are published John Wiley & Sons. For more information see the CCPS-Wiley website www.wiley.com/go/ccps.
