Process Safety Incidents: Key Case Studies & Lessons Learned | Industrial Safety Management & Hazard Prevention

I have been working in the oil refining business for 33 years. I was scheduled to be in the Texas City refinery on the day of the explosion there, but my meeting was delayed, fortunately for me. Since then, I have made it my business to document incidents and near-misses that never reach the news. This book is a godsend for me, because it classifies incidents by root cause, and because it explains process fundamentals. Many accidents, such as the Tosco Avon explosion are caused by lack of process understanding, not just by operators, but by engineers and managers.
