Abnormalities

You are too fat! Got your attention? Read on…

A Doctor may say you are too fat (abnormal condtion) so if you do not loose weight you can be candidate for a ❤ attack or become a diabetic (undesirable event).

It occurred to me the other day while teaching the safety analysis process as described in API RP 14C, there are a lot of similarities between Process Components holding hydrocarbons and the human body. If interested in the API code referenced above, see for yourself definitions of “Abnormal Operating Conditions”, “Undesirable Events” and the whole safety analysis process. Perhaps some of my students may even have a “got it” moment. 

Totally related to the human body, right?

Unlike the Oil and Gas industry where quick adjustments can be made to restore normal conditions, us humans ignore sometimes the abnormalities. Is it because we are just too ignorant, cannot afford to go to the doctor because of increased cost of medical insurance, or some other excuse? Check it out regardless as could save your life.
