Summary
Explains inherently safer design through an alkylation reactor sampling case. Consistent quality-control results supported reducing routine sampling from twice daily to weekly, with additional samples under specified changes or upsets. Introduces minimisation, substitution, moderation and simplification, and calls for management-of-change review before implementing identified options.
