The Swiss Chemical Industry's Approach to Emergency Relief and Its Containment. This paper describes some possible ways of protection against undesired releases of material. It clearly emphases their prevention and focuses on those releases following the emergency relief of installations.
Addressees are plant chemists and engineers, and so technical guidance is given on plant-level.
Although not intended to be a complete manual nor a preliminary risk analysis, the problem is handled in the frame of the well known systematic of risk analysis. In the full paper, the hazard situation in case of undesired releases is summarised and the goals of protection and prevention are described.
