In this episode, Rob is joined again by guest Mike Washington, who is the Director of Industrial Safety at Arkema Inc., The Americas.

Rob and Mike cover his motivation for presenting at the AIChE Global Congress on Process Safety, the basic approach of the assessment and scorecard, how Arkema is using the tool and how the plants have reacted to it, and advice he has for other companies struggling with planning for and reducing the risks of natural hazards.
