Risks involved in the operation of the Plant
The operation of many industrial processes, especially those in the
chemical or oil & gas industries, involve inherent risk due to the
presence of dangerous chemicals or gases.

• Risk due to fire


• Explosion
• Tank overflow
• Gas release
• Chemical explosion

Understand before design
Instrumentation safety may be broadly divided into two categories:

• how instruments themselves may pose a safety hazard (electrical


signals possibly igniting hazardous atmospheres)

• how instruments and control systems may be configured to detect


unsafe process conditions and automatically shut an unsafe process
down.
