Completed CCPS Projects

Completed CCPS Projects are listed below. After clicking on any project, you'll see a link to the book for the completed project. 

Each year the CCPS Technical Steering Committee develops a list of projects, and a Project Subcommittee is established for each approved CCPS project or group of associated projects. Members of the Technical Steering Committee suggest individuals with the appropriate experience and expertise for particular projects.

CCPS Project Subcommittees consist of at least eight professionals from sponsor manufacturers or users of chemicals, with no more than one representative from each company. Click here to view Roles & Responsibilities of CCPS teams.

Project 241: Guidelines for Safe Automation, 2nd Edition

An update to the original 1993 guideline, this edition will cover state-of-the-art design and maintenance of Basic Process Control Systems (BPCS) and its role in overall safe operation. It will also focus on the BPCS/operator interface and will have worked examples of control schemes in combination with SIS. RBPS principles will be integrated and a control strategy for cyber attack “security” will also be covered.

Project 242: Introduction to Process Safety for Undergraduates and Engineers

This project will include the development and evaluation of tools for application of process safety principles throughout the standard chemical engineering curriculum in addition to, or as an alternative to, adding a new specific process safety course.

Project 243: Guidelines for Asset Integrity Management

This book will be an expansion of the first edition and will address gaps in guidance, such as selecting materials of construction, condition monitoring, critical safety equipment, RBI and MI metrics. More examples will be included from member companies for best practices.

Project 256: Training Course for Incident Warning Signs

Proposal: Prepare a training program for the book Recognizing Catastrophic Incident Warning Signs Benefits: support CCPS mission to foster knowledge, understanding and implementation of process safety by executives, management, technicians, engineers, students, government officials and the public. The course could be developed by CCPS Staff or an outside contractor. Course material would include power point slides with speaker notes, workshop problems and solutions, final exams and answer sheets. The course would be designed to be taught by CCPS or licensed with appropriate controls by CCPS...
