Industrial Incidents Unfortunately, that listing was only a partial (small) list of many incidents that have occurred in the energy and chemical industries worldwide. So, what’s the best answer?
Process Safety& Risk Management The application of Management Systems to the IDENTIFICATION, UNDERSTANDING, and CONTROL of Process Hazards to prevent a major fire, explosion, or toxic release which could lead to a fatality or multiple lost workday cases.

Process Safety Management TECHNOLOGY FACILITIES PERSONNEL
Process Technology • Process Technology describes the process and operation • Understanding the hazards is the first step • Consists of three parts
The 3 Parts of Process Technology • Hazards of Materials • Process Design Basis • Equipment Design Basis
Process Hazards Analysis Process Hazards Analyses identify, evaluate, and control hazards - orderly and methodical approaches - many people involved Standard
Procedures & Safe Practices • Provide clear understanding of operating parameters and limits for safe operation • They explain the consequences of problems and the steps necessary to correct and or avoid them • Developed and documented for each process g
Management of Change - Technology • Changes may invalidate prior assessments • All changes must be rigorously reviewed • Sites must have procedures to manage changes.
TechnologyIndustrial Incident #1 Bhopal, India 1984A large amount of water was put into a methyl isocyanate tank. The resulting overpressure and related system failures caused the tank to vent and a large cloud of gases was released and drifted onto the nearby densely populated area. The severity of this accident makes it the worst recorded within the chemical industry, with fatalities estimated in the thousands, ~2,800 from the immediate release and possibly up to 15,000 related deaths since.
Technology Industrial Incident #1 • Contributing Factors: • plant modification/change - HAZOP • not recognizing safety critical systems and their operability • design codes • training and competence
Oppau, Germany TechnologyIndustrial Incident # 2 1921Two explosions at the BASF plant killed 430 and destroyed 700 homes. Blasting powder was being used to breakup storage piles of ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate. This procedure had been used 16,000 times without mishap. The 4,500 tons of the mixture exploded and left a crater 250 feet in diameter and 50 feet deep. Tough stuff to set off. But when it goes, it goes !

Technology Industrial Incident # 2 • Contributing Factor: • not recognizing hazards of materials
Quality Assurance Quality Assurance “bridges the gap” between design and installation: • fabrication and parts meet specifications • delivery to the right location • properly assembled and installed
