What is Industrial Hazards and Plant Safety: Sanjoy Banerjee, Taylor & Francis, New York, NY, 2003, 479 pp., US$ 99.95, ISBN: 0-56032-069-9 about?

Safety in chemical and industrial plants was the central topic when the Journal of Hazardous Materials was begun in 1975. It is even more important today even though we have added a second section entitled "Environmental Technology". Chemical spills was the area of my expertise when I was appointed an editor of the journal that beginning year, but since then I have also acquired an interest in chemical plant accidents. I have read with much interest the publications of Trevor Kletz who has written many articles and books on safety in the chemical industry. One of these books is Learn From Disaster-How Organizations Have No Memory and Accidents Recur. Banerjee, a chemical engineering professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, goes deeply into the theory underlying chemical plant safety. He describes his approach this way: "Rather than covering all aspects of industrial hazards and plant safety, it [the book] focuses on developing and understanding of the risks associated with accidental events that impact design and operation in the process industries. In particular, it emphasizes transport processes in such problems, which is aligned with my own research interests".
