This volume shows, by analysing accidents that have occurred, how we can learn more from them and thus be better able to prevent them occurring again. Looking at a wide range of accidents, and covering the process industries, nuclear industry and transportation, the authors analyses each accident in a practical and non-theoretical fashion and summarizes each with a chain of events showing the prevention and mitigation which could have occurred at any stage. At all times the book emphasizes cause and prevention rather than human interest or cleaning up the mess.; Fully revised and updated, this third edition includes more on: accident investigation, including missed opportunities; coverage of accidents involving liquefied gases, especially LPG and including Feyzin; incidents involving preparation for maintenance; incidents involving modifications; building collapse (based on recent HSE report) and other incidents that have occurred becauses faults were invisible (for example underground pipelines); new legal requirements and regulations; and value and weaknesses of accident statistics. |
