Contractor and client relations to assure process safety

Written and edited by engineering contractors and industry project/maintenance managers as an easy–to–use guide for other industry professionals, this book identifies important process safety issues in the contractor–client relationship,which are not addressed by other groups and publications.

While the issues may arise at any point in the life cycle of a plant, they should be resolved early in the relationship to permit a clearer focus on process safety issues.

Topics covered are a general discussion of contractor safety programs; EPC (engineering, procurement, construction) contractual bases and work division as they address regulatory PSM issues; subcontractor relationships; and managing contractor–client risks.
