Trevor Kletz has had a huge impact on the way people viewed accidents and safety, particularly in the process industries. His ideas were developed from nearly 40 years working in the chemical industry. When he retired from the field, he shared his experience and ideas widely in more than 15 books. Trevor Kletz Compendium: His Process Safety Wisdom Updated for a New Generation introduces Kletz’s stories and ideas and brings them up to date in this valuable resource that equips readers to manage process safety in every workplace. Topics covered in this book include inherent safety, safety studies, human factors and design. Learn the lessons from past accidents to make sure they don’t happen again.

"Despite these minor issues, this book ultimately succeeds at its goal to present the teachings of Prof. Kletz to a new, modern audience. The main selling point of this book is the collection and synthesis of Prof. Kletz’s writings and recommendations, and these pieces are supplemented by information relevant to the practice of process safety today. Ultimately, I feel this textbook is a good reference for those interested in communicating the thought and intention behind process safety philosophies. I am more hesitant to recommend use of this book as the primary textbook for a process safety or design course, particularly those that rely on more technical process safety and design calculations, as teaching those specific skills is not in the purview of this text. With that said, I intend to use this book as a reference for future safety and professional practice courses I teach, and I have already recommended it to several colleagues with similar teaching interests." —Chemical Engineering Education

David Edwards
David Edwards is a chartered chemical engineer with 30 years of experience in Safety, Health and Environmental (SHE) matters. He worked on Inherently Safer Design (ISrD) with Trevor Kletz and others at Loughborough University, where he wrote one of the seminal papers in the field, ‘Assessing the inherent safety of chemical process routes: is there a relation between plant costs and inherent safety?’, D.W. Edwards and D. Lawrence, Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP), 71, 252-258 (November, 1993), which has been cited more than 150 times. He won the IChemE Hutchison medal for ‘Inherently Safer Design – Present and Future’, J.P. Gupta, D.W. Edwards, PSEP, 80, B, 115-125, (2002). He is an authority on Inherently Safer Design, which he has championed during his oil and gas facility design work with Granherne / KBR
