Abstract
Processes and plants in the chemical industry are generally subject to the possibility of hazards for men and environment. Therefore every conceivable risk has to be investigated carefully and hazard potentials have to be reduced as much as reasonably possible. By means of systematic safety discussions, safety audits are worked out both for new installations and for existing plants. The hazard potential can be reduced to a minimum by choosing low-risk process steps, chemicals and appropiate devices. For any hazards that then remain safety tasks have to be defined. They are normally handled by independent, redundant, protective measures. If automatic control systems are used, special technical conditions are called for. In addition, safety-oriented maintenance is of equal importance.
