1. Introduction to Plant Design and Safety Presented to ES-317y at UWO in fall of 1999 By Dick Hawrelak

2. Reasons for Adding Safety to Plant Design (ES-317y) Industry demands safety awareness. Government wants correct application of –Often confusing guidelines, –Numerous codes and complex regulations. Academia needs to retain accreditation.

3. Course Objectives Sensitize the students to safety. (Case Studies) Introduce safety in plant design. (Where We Go Wrong). Introduce safety tools used in plant design (Plant Design & Hazard Analysis spreadsheet software given to UWO).

4. Three Laws of Loss Prevention He who ignores the past is condemned to repeat it. Success in preventing loss is in anticipating the future. You are not in control if a loss has to occur before you measure it.

5. A Word of Caution From Albert Einstein “Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavor. Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.”

6. Some Safety Statistics A general perspective to set the tone. Comparison to other industries. Comparison to other activities.

16. Final Exam One hour exam during the last session. Example exam questions will be given during each presentation. Example - What are the Three Laws of Loss Prevention? Example - The greatest percentage of losses come from (operational error, engineering design, mechanical failure)? Example - The greatest equipment losses come from (piping, exchangers, tanks)?
