A series of surveys on accident investigation models show a wide variety of models, dedicated to specific industrial applications, domains and investigation aspects. In particular the investigation of human factors is exposed to a wide diversity of models. In reviewing such models, the majority proves to be a derivate from the Reason’s Swiss Cheese causation model or the Rasmussen model on syst...

Several concepts have been used to describe potential serous accidents in industrial activities. Examples of these concepts are worst case scenarios, likelier-but-less-catastrophic scenarios, most credible scenarios etc. A worst case scenario is a sequence of events/actions/accidents for a certain place (site) and time which causes the worst magnitude of an accident. Often these kind of acciden...

Numerical simulation of fuel spraying into industrial objects is described in this paper. This spatter may be caused by a vehicle or storage tank accident. Prediction spill the main aim simulations that allow predicting possible sources secondary fires. are based on solution system Navier-Stokes equations complemented Lagrangian spray cloud and thin fluid film. The results will help to identify...

in industries, in general, occurrence of accidents is not negligible in which injure the workforce and burden cost to society. the main purpose of this study was investigation of industrial accidents and their trend in fars province. this is a descriptive analytical retrospective study in which data on industrial accidents were collected from the labor organization of fars province during years...

conclusion: due to the high rate of accidents in metal and construction industries, engineering controls, the use of appropriate protective equipment and safety worker training seems necessary. results: the occupational accidents rate was 253 in 100,000 workers in 2008. 98.2% of injured workers were men. the mean age of injured workers was 32.07 ± 9.12 years. the highest percentage belonged to ...

STUDY OBJECTIVES The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 requires that chemical facilities in the US with specified quantities of certain toxic or flammable chemicals file a five year history of accidents. This study considers the relation between the reported accidents and surrounding community characteristics. DESIGN This study is a retrospective analysis of the association between the demogra...

Abstract This article argues that space plays an active role in shaping collective responses to crisis situations. While it is well known the physical features of a place affect way industrial accidents can be managed by response and rescue teams, this will examine another important aspect space: its helping resolve crises. We present case study involving French complex where chemical cloud, em...

Detecting changes in humans that result from radioactive contamination of the area of residence many years after an incident (i.e., when the radiation has substantially decayed) presents a difficult epidemiological problem. Problems of this kind are even more complicated ina areas where the population is continually exposed to other harmful man-made factors. The city of Kamensk-Uralsky (Sverdlo...
