Inherently Safer Chemical Processes

19 July 2007
The EHSC Note on "Safety Issues in the Scale Up of Chemical Reactions", published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, outlines the main options for the safe operation of chemical plant. The first option was to use inherently safer methods. The Royal Society of Chemistry believes that inherent safety is an important issue of which all chemists should be aware. The introduction of inherently safer chemical processes is essential both to ensure the health and safety of all involved and to protect the environment.
