The Loss Prevention category on NitinJadhav.com is your authoritative resource for mastering strategies, standards, and solutions that minimize risk, protect assets, and enhance operational safety in process industries.
Focused on industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, LNG, fertilizers, and heavy chemicals, this section features practical knowledge, design philosophies, and engineering controls used to prevent fire, explosion, toxic release, and structural failure. From fireproofing and passive fire protection (PFP) to fire & gas detection, firewater demand calculations, emergency planning, and incident investigation techniques, every topic is backed by standards such as NFPA, OISD, API, FM Global, CCPS, and IS codes.
Whether you’re a process safety engineer, loss prevention specialist, or HSE manager, you’ll find tools and expert-written content here to help you identify hazards, design safe layouts, protect critical equipment, and ensure regulatory compliance.
The goal of this category is simple: help organizations avoid losses—loss of life, loss of property, and loss of reputation—through proactive, data-driven safety and protection engineering.
