Abstract
Implementing an Inherent SHE Review process is under way at the Exxon Chemical Company and progress is being made in the pursuit of inherently safer, healtheir, and environmentally friendly processes. The review integrates well with the company's systems for process safety management, new product development, and project execution. In addition, the Inherent SHE Review process has been quite helpful in educating the organization with regard to the appoprite use of the laboratory in developing reactive chemistry understanding during product and process development. Another benefit of the Inherent SHE Review process is the proactive involvement of industrial hygiene early in the product development and project execution processes.
