ISA S&P department awards for 2015

• Standards

Summary

ISA's Standards and Practices (S&P) department annually publishes 15 to 20 standards and technical reports that improve the safety, cybersecurity, and efficiency of industrial processes. Each year the department's governing body, the ISA S&P board, presents department-level awards to recognize outstanding work and leadership that have resulted in these documents or in a significant outcome for an ISA standards committee.

The contributions of 31 individuals were recognized by the board for 2015. Announcing the awards was Nicholas P. Sands of DuPont, 2015 - 16 vice president of the S&P department.
