So what's good about this book?
As you can see if you go look at the Table of Contents, the book is incredibly detailed and carries you from "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies, Miss Scarlet!" to being able to think you might pass the FSE exam to become a Functional Safety Engineer/Expert.
"The target users of this book," it says in the Introduction, "are the various disciplines responsible for safe and reliable operation in the process industry."
This book is designed to mimic project design, from investigation to analysis, to implementation and commissioning.
Just the list of acronyms is worth the price of the book.
