BP Amoco Incident; Georgia; March, 2001 www.csb.gov Fact: Three maintenance workers were fatally injured. 1. Why? The workers were working on the “Polymer Catch Tank”. The polymer catch tank was still pressurized. The workers partially removed the cover.
BP Amoco Incident; Georgia; March, 2001 www.csb.gov Fact: The polymer catch tank was still pressurized 2. Why? Loss of gas venting capability by catch tank. Decomposition generating gas in core of vessel. Pressure gauge was inoperative. No de-energizing procedure for vessel.
BP Amoco Incident; Georgia; March, 2001 www.csb.gov Fact: There was no de-energizing procedure for tank. 3. Why? Pressure gauge and drain used as indication of de-energized status. Process had been shut down, was not operative. Outdated vessel cleaning procedure was being used.
BP Amoco Incident; Georgia; March, 2001 www.csb.gov Fact: Outdated vessel cleaning procedure was being used. 4. Why? Foaming of the polymer product was not well understood by operations. The plugging capacity of the foaming polymer was not well understood by operations.
BP Amoco Incident; Georgia; March, 2001 www.csb.gov Foaming and plugging of product was not well understood by operations. 5. Why? Operations had not taken advantage of opportunities to learn from near misses on product foaming and plugging. Operations’ safe work procedures had not been modified to consider foaming of polymer material.
