Piotr Jaranowski
Part of the BP Safety Series, developed as a compliment to safety training this text makes the perfect reference tool and training aid. The book sets out to increase the awareness, of operators within the chemical and process industry, to the hazards of steam. It begins by describing steam, its uses and properties, before pointing out the potential hazards. Using case studies of actual accidents to highlight the potential threats and explain the possible causes, it raises the knowledge and awareness of operators to the dangers of steam, enabling them to spot hazards before accidents occur. The book concludes with a self-test section allowing the reader to test their understanding of the information within the book. An excellent introduction to the topic for students.
