Process Safety studies how and when a processing system can fail, causing process (accident) events with negative impact. It encompasses how to predict, prevent, control, and mitigate such process events. Process safety involves both numerical and experimental analysis. It relies heavily on studying chemical and process behavior experimentally and through numerical simulation. It utilizes advanced probability theory to model process event occurrence.
