  Introduction to concept : Criteria for siting and layout of chemical plant, Hazardous area classification, Layers of Protection analysis, Instrumentation for safe and efficient operations of plants, safety Integrity level.  Criteria for siting and layout of chemical plant-  1.PLANT SITING AND LAYOUT- Rural, Urban with mixed areas, low population density of high population density. If hazard is toxic gas release, effect of distance to reduce gas concentrations. 2. PLANT LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS- Segregation of different risks. Ø   Separation of flameproof and non-flameproof areas as per Factories Act and Tariff Advisory Committee. Ø   Segregation of Plants having explosion potentials, keeping costs on utilities low. Ø   Minimization of vulnerable pipe work. Ø   Containment of accidents. Ø   Efficient and safe construction of match factories light roof construction. Ø   Facilitation of process operations. Ø   Efficient and safe maintenance - clear distances to fac
