Features: This book is a revised and significantly expanded version of the 1999 edition of "Industrial Plant Safety and Health Pre-evaluation Methods." Based on the introduction of the purpose, significance, and importance of safety evaluation, its fundamental principles (relevant principle, analogy principle, inertia principle, and the principle of quantitative change leading to qualitative change), the establishment and characteristics of evaluation models, the book comprehensively and systematically presents the connotations, steps, application scope, and advantages and disadvantages of various qualitative and quantitative safety evaluation methods. It places special emphasis on safety checklists, expert review, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, the Dow Chemical Company's Fire and Explosion Index Method (7th Edition), the ICI Mond Method, Job Safety Analysis (Graham Method), Machinery Factory Hazard Evaluation, Fault Tree Analysis, Event Tree Analysis, Cause-Effect Analysis, Hazardous Operability Study, "What-if Analysis," Human Error Analysis, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. Additionally, it introduces simulation calculation methods for leaks, poisoning, physical and chemical explosions, and fires; risk analysis of industrial pipelines; occupational health evaluation methods; and incorporates safety logic methods, as well as the development and practice of emergency response plans. This book serves as a reference for safety production personnel, engineering project designers, and safety evaluation professionals. It can also be used as a teaching reference for safety engineering students and faculty at universities and for safety training in industrial and mining enterprises.
