CCPS Guidelines for Chemical Transportation Safety, Security and Risk Management

摘要

In the decade since the CCPS Guidelines for Chemical Transportation Risk Analysis was published, it has received widespread recognition as an excellent resource on transportation risk analysis. It has been used extensively by major chemical companies and shipping organizations both domestically and internationally. In order to best serve the needs and interests of its clients and stakeholders, CCPS periodically reviews the use and effectiveness of its publications and issues updates or revisions. This new book, Guidelines for Chemical Transportation Safety, Security and Risk Management(2008), is not meant to replace the earlier 1995 edition, but rather to augment it. The new publication deals with transportation, security, and risk management on a broader basis and provides tools and methods to benefit a wider range of transportation professionals and associated stakeholders. In particular, it introduces more qualitative and practical techniques for screening, identifying, and managing higher-level risks issues that balance both safety and security. These two books should be used in combination to effectively manage and analyze transportation risk. For this reason, the original Guidelines for Chemical Transportation Risk Analysis s reproduced on an enclosed CD. As highlighted, this paper has only provided an overview of the concepts presented in this new guideline. In addition to the further guidance, details, checklists, tools, and resources presented in the full guidance document, a comprehensive set of appendices, in CD format, is included. In addition to the original 1995 book, the appendices include tools shared by stakeholder companies, links to current and pending regulations and to additional resources current at the time of publication, and a complete example illustrating the transportation concepts that are developed throughout each chapter of this guidelines book.
