This safety instruction points out some aspects of plant and process safety. Chemical reactions often release energy – they are exothermic and produce heat. If this heat is dissipated in a controlled manner, the process is safe. Deviations in the course of the reaction or insufficient cooling may lead to a dangerous runaway reaction. The prerequisites for a safe implementation and management of chemical processes therefore include knowledge and control of the process parameters.

The training tool is intended to assist managers for the personal instruction of employees and to start an open discussion on the topic of occupational safety. The safety briefing set enables superiors to share their knowledge about safe working to their subordinates and colleagues, especially with vulnerable groups.
