Investigation of major process accidents to determine the root cause of the failures has been an important facet of Dr. West's experience. He has participated in several 100 catastrophic process accident investigation teams over the past decades, both domestically and internationally, recognized as one of the few process control experts with forensic experience.
For the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Dr. West has participated in several projects outlined below:
- Co-Author of the text, "Guidelines for Process Safety Operations
& Maintenance"
- Instructor for the Continuing Education course entitled, "Management of Change," a two-day seminar offered several times per year in conjunction with AIChE conferences. A similar course was developed through the Texas A&M Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center.
Additionally, Dr. West has prepared and taught process safety engineering short courses on both an open enrollment basis and for individual corporations. As a volunteer adjunct professor of chemical engineering at Texas A&M, Dr. West has been involved in directing graduate students in process safety studies.
