“Dr. Bellair was involved in a significant effort around safe monomer handling, storage and defining ‘runaway’ conditions. He analyzed the historical data, identified the gaps and designed/executed experimental plans to close them and developed a robust technical database to assist with emergencies. He shared this experience with other companies to impact the safety culture in the broader chemical industry, thus becoming a transformational role model for safety.”
