Inherently Safer Chemical Processes
This course gives practical applications of Inherently Safer Design (ISD) concepts. The course prepares the attendees to lead these studies by giving knowledge on the key principles of ISD. AcuTech explains the best means to integrate ISD as a “lifestyle” into the existing management systems of the organization to institute the approach on a routine basis. Means to conduct the EPA RMP requirements for Safer Technology and Alternatives Analysis (STAA) will be highlighted.
AcuTech is the recognized market leader in providing ISD services to industry and government.
