RE: safety topics
I would guess that your safety program would have to have two general parts:
- The normal and customary safety program used in a chemical/industrial facility ( ie. Confined space program, hot work program, fall protection etc.)
-A specialty program devoted to the specific raw and finished chemical used at your plant(ie. railcar safety, safety at plant flares, special fire protection areas etc)
You should be reviewing plant layouts, be familiar with explosive/non-explosive protected areas and be reviewing the safety programs of other similar plants owned by the parent company.
My opinions only..

In the late 70's ARCO installed heat suppresion systems on their pipelines just upstream of their underground storage systems in Texas. The theory was that if a decomp started, it would travel at the speed of sound along the pipeline and into the 1 millon pounds in storage.
