Process Safety Book Club

PSD Idea Exchange Book Club – Summer 2025

The Process Safety Division’s Idea Exchange Committee is excited to launch the third installment of our virtual book club, your drop‑in forum for lively and practical conversations around the latest thinking in process safety and human‑centered operations.

This Summer’s Pick

"Bob’s Guide to Operational Learning"

Bob Edwards & Andrea Baker

Edwards and Baker translate Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles into a step‑by‑step playbook. You will learn how to spot systemic weaknesses before they become incidents, run high‑impact learning teams, and coach leaders and front‑line staff to weave operational learning into everyday work.

How the Book Club Works

  • Read at your own pace; we will focus on themes, not chapter summaries.

  • Three 60‑minute virtual meet‑ups on the following dates:

    • June 26

    • July 24

    • August 28

      Time: 11:30 am – 12:30 pm CT / 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm ET

  • Flexible attendance; join any session that fits your schedule.

  • Open discussion with no recording; frank conversation encouraged. Key takeaways will be posted afterward on the PSD Book Club page.
