Some of the most destructive accidents of 1980s and 90s which occurred in process industries were domino accidents. Although domino accidents are among the most destructive industrial accidents, there are not much pioneering works done on quantification of them. The analytical formulation of the domino accidents is usually complex and need a deep knowledge of probability rules. Even if the ...

management of traumatized patients after road accidents is in many countries still a serious challenge. apart from technical problems in management of car accidents, the recovery and rescue of the patients and their transport to hospital need exact planning and efficient strategy. present lecture compares the trauma management in an industrial country like germany with this in iran. present wor...

This paper deals with a tool developed to support training and education in the field of security and safety in work areas, plants, or industrial environments. The tool comprises the dashboards enabling administrators and users to simulate risks and accidents to be ready for interventions in case of occurrence. Based on a computational model of risks, able to identify the causes and the signs w...

BACKGROUND Despite considerable efforts made in recent years, the industrial accident rate and the fatality rate in the Republic of Korea are much higher than those in most developed countries in Europe and North America. Industrial safety policies and safety regulations are also known to be ineffective and inefficient in some cases. METHODS This study focuses on the quantitative evaluation o...

The recent fatality rate per 10,000workers due to industrial accidents in Korea has gradually decreasing (2007 1⁄4 1.92, 2008 1⁄4 1.80, 2009 1⁄4 1.57, 2010 1⁄4 1.55, 2011 1⁄4 1.48, 2012 1⁄4 1.40). Also, among the total occupational injuries and illness, the proportion of those in employees who belong to a workplace with over 300 employees has diminished since 2004 (2004 1⁄4 14.9%, 2005 1⁄4 12.6...

The increasing complexity of industrial systems requires the adoption of adequate approaches to manage emergency situations in case of accidents and disasters. In this context the analysis of human reliability represents a crucial task [2]. In fact, the human factor is a predominant element in the study of accidents/disaster, both in probability level, but also in terms of severity of the expec...
