Webinar pre CHEF reading
Session 7 on Wednesday, March 19
In this session we will finish addressing the question “how bad could it be?” or Consequence Analysis. During this session, we will be demonstrating Effect Modeling (or Impact Estimation) using the CHEF Calculation Aid.
- Attached is a copy of the CHEF Calculation Aid populated with an example that will be presented.
- The CHEF instructors would also like to share with you a report by the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers on Human Vulnerability as a reference for the response of humans to chemical, fire, explosion, and other hazards.
Session 6 on Wednesday, March 12
The CHEF instructors will begin addressing the question “how bad could it be?” or Consequence Analysis. During this session, they will be demonstrating Source Modeling using the CHEF Calculation Aid and Atmospheric Vapor Dispersion Modeling using ALOHA.
- The following is a link for downloading the free ALOHA Vapor Dispersion software: ALOHA Software | US EPA
Session 4 on Wednesday, Feb 26
Here is the pre-reading for week 4 where we will begin addressing the question “what could go wrong?”
Session 3 on Wednesday, Feb 19
This is the Pre-reading document for week 3
Furthermore, the CHEF instructors wish to share 2 links:
- The first is a link to the CRW Workbook which they will share a brief demonstration during this week’s webinar. It is an excellent free software package for evaluating the potential for reactive chemistry hazards associated with intermixing of incompatible materials. The pre-reading document is a brief summary for using the CRW4 workbook.
Download/Install | AIChE - The second link they would like to share is for the CHEF Calculational Aid (which compliments the CHEF Guide). They will share an example screening for runaway reaction using this spreadsheet at the next session.

Session 2 on Wednesday, Feb 12
There is no pre-reading for week 2, but the CHEF instructors Ken First and Bruce Vaughen would like to share a few links.
- The first is a link to Cameo Chemicals which they will share a brief demonstration during this week’s webinar. It is an excellent free software package for Chemical Properties including hazard characteristic such as flash point, flammable limits, and toxic screening criteria such as ERPG and AEGL.
CAMEO Chemicals Software | US EPA - The second link they would like to share is for a free on-line learning module for OSHA-PSM which was discussed in session 1. The module takes roughly 3-4 hours to complete and, they believe, you may obtain a certificate of completion for $21 if desired.
