Abstract | This review paper summarizes process safety aspects of abnormal situations and incidents in industrial facilities. Major accidents and their negative impacts on health, safety and environment have shown the importance of enhancing safety culture, understanding causes of abnormal situations and determine effective management strategies. Flaring is a safety industry practice to control and manage processes during normal and abnormal operations. This paper identifies current efforts made by industry and researchers toward better management of abnormal situation for flare reductions.
