Abstract:
The central notion of the accident proneness concept is that people exposed to equivalent hazards do not have an equal number of accidents. If people were equally accident prone, one would expect accidents to be distributed according to chance. Using accident data collected at Shell Oil Company's Manufacturing Complex in Deer Park, Texas, the present study explored the proneness concept for major (OSHA recordable) and minor accidents by comparing the observed distribution of accidents to a chance distribution. The database contains information on 7131 accidents which occurred between 1981 and 1986. The methodology used to create expected values employed a Poisson distribution and assumed that accidents are distributed randomly among the population at risk. The minor accident data was also analyzed by job family. Chi-square analyses of the differences between the expected and observed distributions were found to be statistically significant, including within each job family. The data for minor accidents indicates a striking difference between the expected and actual distributions. Many more people suffered repeat accidents than would be predicted by chance. Approximately 3.4% of the employees accounted for 21.5% of the accidents. While the differences for major accidents was statistically significant, these results are not nearly so striking. The statistical effects are largely due to five employees who were involved in three major accidents in the five year period. In the context of this very large industrial setting, the problem of individuals having repeated minor accidents is significant and merits attention in developing safety interventions.

Abstract:
Background: Occupational accidents in developing countries like Pakistan are obvious due to poor occupational health safety infrastructure. Objective: This retrospective study aimed to analyze the industrial accidents in factories of Pakistan during 1993-2009. Methods and Material: An index value calculation method used to investigate the trends of occupational accidents. Accident rate (103), fatal accident rate (105), and non-fatal accident rate (103) were also calculated. Pakistan Statistical Year Books published by Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) used as data source.Results: Data of total 10330 industrial accidents analyzed and decreasing accident rate found with average 3.1 accident per 103 factory workers. Fatal accident increased with an average of 23 fatal accidents per 105 factories workers. Regarding the severity of industrial accidents, minor accidents found at 74% followed by serious (18%) and fatal accidents (8%). Decreased trends of index values and accident rates can associate with the increased human development index of Pakistan, but increased fatal accidents in factories and under-reporting are major areas of concern for safety stakeholders. Conclusions: Despite industrial accidents decreased in factories but more in depth studies with more recent data about the root causes of accidents can be useful to draw a true picture of occupational accidents in Pakistan. Improved social security system in Pakistan can be helpful to the exact recording of occupational accidents data.

Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between risk of accident involvement and the aging process. It was predicted that the relationships between age and accident frequency and severity would differ depending upon job context. The study also examined the extent to which progressive selection was a factor. 7,131 accidents that occurred over a five year span in a large Southwestern petrochemical facility were analyzed. In addition, information about age and employment history was obtained for the 3,015 employees at this plant. There were no differences in the proportions of employees in different age groups across job families indicating progressive selection was not a factor in this workforce. Younger workers had higher overall accident rates than older employees; but there were few differences between them in the proportion of severe accidents incurred. The relationship between age and accident frequency and severity did not differ across job families (except in the oldest age group, where the accident frequency rate declined for two of the five job families).

Abstract:
As the social cost of disasters increases and safety is being emphasized, policy regulations at the national level have been implemented. However, various fatal accidents are continually occurring as continued economic development and enhanced technologies have increased demand and complicated the industrial structure. Workers in different industries, performing similar jobs, often experience different workplace hazards, which can result in similar types of accidents. Therefore, new policy regulations have been established to separate multiple processes and work in workplaces and are being implemented in several countries to minimize damage caused by new types of industrial accidents. Supervision and management appropriate for contractors or safety and health officials with legal obligations are required to play a regulatory role when these types of industrial accidents are likely to occur. This study classified accidental types and their characteristics based on actual cases, in which potential risks exist at multiple processes in a workplace. First, raw data of work-related fatalities that occurred in South Korea were reviewed and classified as fatal accidents caused by multiple processes in workplaces using the proposed method. Next, the classified actual cases were prepared as statistical data and analyzed based on the various categories. Finally, the accident type based on multiple processes, including risks and characteristics, in workplaces was proposed. As a result, this study improved the safety awareness and understanding of regulatory subjects regarding industrial accidents caused by multiple processes in workplaces and is expected to improve the effectiveness of the existing policy to prevent workplace accidents.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Although using forklifts in industrial sites contributes to productivity, many workers have been injured or killed owing to industrial accidents caused by forklifts. OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed the characteristics of forklift accidents by employment type and work process, thereby identifying the factors contributing to industrial accidents and providing recommendations to prevent accidents. METHODS: Data on 1,061 industrial forklift accidents occurring in 2018 collected from the national injury insurance compensation database were analyzed. In addition to analyzing the accident characteristics, this study performed a risk assessment per forklift work process. RESULTS: Many accidents were associated with older workers, those employed for < 6 months, and workplaces with ≤49 workers. The risk was the highest for accidents involving caught-in objects in the loading/unloading step and collision accidents in the forward- and backward-driving steps. CONCLUSIONS: Measures are needed to prevent industrial forklift accidents. First, forklift and worker movement routes must be strictly separated or controlled by a work supervisor. It is necessary to secure a time margin for workers to avoid collapsing cargo by using an appropriate tool/jig during loading/unloading. Second, guidance, inspection, and support are needed to promote employers’ safety and health awareness in workplaces with < 50 workers. Lastly, intensive education and training concerning health and safety is required for workers with less than six months of experience.

Abstract:
Paul Fyfe, "Accidents of a Novel Trade: Industrial Catastrophe, Fire Insurance, and Mary Barton"(pp. 315––347) This essay argues for the industrial novel as a form of risk management, in dialog with the insurance business and its particular problems with fire. elizabeth Gaskell's abiding concerns for workplace accidents and compensation in Mary Barton (1848), focused by a spectacular mill fire, contests the definition and "writing"of risk on commercial terrain. At the same time, various fire insurers, scrambling to manage a risk that seemed beyond control, invented hybrid strategies of description that impinged on the domain of novelists. I demonstrate how changing concepts of accident and risk characterize the unstable political landscape of England's industrial north, measure the increasingly material pressures on property and life, and inform diverse practices of writing, particularly those that novelists shared with the insurance industry. ultimately, the "queer elements of the accidental and the arbitrary"for which Henry James denigrates the Victorian novel may derive from such historical circumstances in which writers like Gaskell absorb accidents as a practice of the genre.

Abstract:
This study aimed to develop the accident mechanism of fatal accidents taking place in multiple processes at the workplace. Multiple processes were defined as the existence of multiple work types and work processes in the same workspace. Recently, various processes are frequently conducted simultaneously in one workplace with the participation of several companies, and more workers are increasingly experiencing industrial accidents while working in multiple processes. To prevent accidents in the multiple processes caused by the sameness of work period and space, the accident process was investigated by analyzing the investigation reports on serious industrial accidents in South Korea, and then the accident mechanism model was developed. By utilizing the developed model, the major safety measures to be taken by the contractor for each of the 8 types of accidents caused by the multiple processes were drawn. The roles and responsibilities of the contractor to be implemented in order to prevent accident occurrence in multiple processes were proposed through the accident mechanism of each type of fatal accident. It is expected that the accidents taking place in the multiple processes can be prevented with the drawn results.

Abstract:
In Korea, even though there were laws such as occupational safety and health law and criminal law, such as occupational negligence and loss of life due to industrial accidents, the proportion of deaths from industrial accidents is still higher than that of advanced countries, and large-scale accidents such as the Icheon fire accident continue to occur. Accordingly, along with awareness of safety, the theory of responsibility for industrial accidents has become a hot topic. As part of that, it has been one year since the introduction of the Severe Disaster Punishment Act was enacted. As a result of the implementation, the investigation is prolonging as the proportion of cases processed is less than 30%, and the effectiveness of the Severe Accident Punishment Act is strongly questioned as only one case has been prosecuted. Rather, the news that the manager is strengthening legal services to avoid his responsibility is that the intention of introducing the Severe Disaster Punishment Act, which was expected to strengthen prevention and safety measures due to strong punishment, disproves that it is flowing in a different direction. Therefore, in this paper, in order to examine the direction of practical application of the Serious Accident Punishment Act, the Industrial Safety and Health Act, which already has similar constituent requirements, and the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 will be closely compared and examined, and accordingly, the problems of the Severe Accident Punishment Act will be examined. And, based on James Reason's Swiss cheese model, which analyzed the causes of accidents caused by industrial accidents, along with improvement measures for the effectiveness of the Severe Accident Punishment Act, I'll discuss what is the direction for reasonable attribution of responsibility and prevention of recurrence.

Abstract:
The safety analysis of an industrial installation is extensively based on modeling and simulation. However, the analysis of simulation using realistic computer codes like RELAP5/Mod3.2 will help understand thermal-hydraulic behavior of an installation during normal and accidental conditions. In a steam boiler operation, it is very important to evaluate numerous accident scenarios under real plant conditions. One of the main accidental transients is tube rupture of steam boiler. The main objective of this study consists toinvestigate the behavior of an industrial steam boiler installed in the complex of natural gas liquefaction (LNG) at Skikda in Algeria during feed water line break accident. A RELAP5 model was set up to simulate the entire system, the model represents all steam boiler components to be suitable for the analysis of the several accidents. The control and regulation systems are also considered. The model was qualified against the steam boiler data at steady-state conditions. As seen from the results, a good agreement was obtained. The transient simulation results show that the thermal-hydraulic code correctly predicts the behavior of the main steam boiler parameters and how the control system, when required, can successfully mitigate the accident.

Abstract:
An information-based solution is proposed that will aid fire-fighters and other emergency service personnel in their control of industrial accidents in Saudi Arabia. The integration of databases and geographic information systems (GIS) through dynamic data exchange (DDE) creates an informatics tool with more general usability. Further, web enabled information exchange about hazardous materials is interfaced with the proposed information system. The resulting 'Industrial Incidents Administration System' (IIAS) is a paperless, user-centred, secure method for information exchange able to preserve information between the Civil Defence and Industrial Sectors in Saudi Arabia using state of the art electronic sources and resources. Three main needs were identified in the design phase of HAS: the information architecture of the data repositories in a form that retains semantic and syntactic values; a rapid-access database for planning decisions; and, an online transactional database for frequent updating. In order to achieve the HAS, the following technologies were exploited and integrated. Online data exchange through the use of an Information Bus system architecture; a local database which contains five subsystems; and the GIS application. Interoperability was an important feature of the proposed solution. In order to better understand and satisfy user needs, the prototype system was implemented and evaluated. The purpose of this prototype was to receive feedback from users to understand their needs. The feedback received helped to improve, as well as add, new functionalities to the HAS. In this study, we presented results and experiences of conducting two well known evaluation techniques heuristic evaluation and cognitive walk-through. The two methods employed complemented each other very well, the first giving feedback from end-users needs, and the second revealing deficiencies in usability in the system. The study provided convincing information for improving the current version of HAS.

Abstract:
Availability of data on accidents and chemical inventories, together with assessment and analysis tools is a prerequisite for integrated control of industrial accidents. Although Turkey has a developing industry, legislative measures for control of industrial accidents are lacking, past accidents are not systematically enlisted and industrial facilities and hazardous substances thereof are not properly registered. While some accident data is available in international databases, they are incomplete and erroneous. In the present study, a decision support system has been developed for collection and analysis of past accident information, assessment of current accident potentials of industrial establishments and modeling of probable accidents to reveal risks possessed thereby. The system supports web based multilingual and multi-user environment,and aims contribution of all interested parties in a collaborative manner. Information on technological accidents can be systematically archived together with reference data and visual materials. Initial data covering a time period of 30 years has been provided. The system is capable of storing hazard classifications and physico-chemical properties of substances, and providing standardized data for calculations. It can determine major-accident potential of industrial facilities as dictated by the 96/82/EC Directive of the EU and update relevant information automatically as required. An easy to use accident model for rapid assessment of off-site consequences of industrial accidents is also featured. Developed system allows integrated management of data on industrial accidents and provides decision support tools for assessing current and future accident potential,which can be used for national as well as the EU needs.

Abstract:
Natural hazards affecting industrial installations could directly or indirectly cause an accident or series of accidents with serious consequences for the environment and for human health. Accidents initiated by a natural hazard or disaster which result in the release of hazardous materials are commonly referred to as Natech (Natural Hazard Triggering a Technological Disaster) accidents. The conditions brought about by these kinds of events are particularly problematic, the presence of the natural event increases the probability of exposition and causes consequences more serious than standard technological accidents. Despite a growing body of research and more stringent regulations for the design and operation of industrial activities, Natech accidents remain a threat. This is partly due to the absence of data and dedicated risk-assessment methodologies and tools. Even the Seveso Directives for the control of risks due to major accident hazards do not include any specific impositions regarding the management of Natech risks in the process industries. Among the few available tools there is the European Standard EN 62305, which addresses generic industrial sites, requiring to take into account the possibility of lightning and to select the appropriate protection measures. Since it is intended for generic industrial installations, this tool set the requirements for the design, the construction and the modification of structures, and is thus mainly oriented towards conventional civil building. A first purpose of this project is to study the effects and the consequences on industrial sites of lightning, which is the most common adverse natural phenomenon in Europe. Lightning is the cause of several industrial accidents initiated by natural causes. The industrial sectors most susceptible to accidents triggered by lightning is the petrochemical one, due to the presence of atmospheric tanks (especially floating roof tanks) containing flammable vapors which could be easily ignited by a lightning strike or by lightning secondary effects (as electrostatic and electromagnetic pulses or ground currents). A second purpose of this work is to implement the procedure proposed by the European Standard on a specific kind of industrial plant, i.e. on a chemical factory, in order to highlight the critical aspects of this implementation. A case-study plant handling flammable liquids was selected. The application of the European Standard allowed to estimate the incidence of lightning activity on the total value of the default release frequency suggested by guidelines for atmospheric storage tanks. Though it has become evident that the European Standard does not introduce any parameters explicitly pointing out the amount of dangerous substances which could be ignited or released. Furthermore the parameters that are proposed to describe the characteristics of the structures potentially subjected to lightning strikes are insufficient to take into account the specific features of different chemical equipment commonly present in chemical plants.

Abstract:
La presente tesis va encaminada al estudio de la gravedad de los accidentes industriales con sustancias peligrosas mediante la utilización del análisis histórico de accidentes. Su objetivo final es utilizar el tratamiento cuantitativo de dicho análisis para desarrollar una metodología que permita predecir la gravedad de los accidentes.

Los factores de riesgo que determinan la mayor o menor gravedad de los accidentes son tantos y tan complejos, que las aproximaciones determinísticas tradicionales no permiten desarrollar modelos adecuados que describan correctamente la realidad. Pretender establecer una correlación de determinados factores de riesgo para predecir la potencial gravedad de un accidente es, hoy por hoy, cuanto menos, difícil.

Existen muchas publicaciones y trabajos de recopilación en los que se detallan innumerables situaciones accidentales. En los últimos años, el desarrollo de bases de datos informatizadas permite una utilización masiva de estas informaciones. Sin embargo, la utilización tradicional del análisis histórico de accidentes se ha encaminado prioritariamente a la detección cualitativa de factores de riesgo y de forma secundaria, al desarrollo cuantitativo de determinados modelos.

El trabajo aquí presentado parte del estudio de diversas recopilaciones de accidentes de reconocido prestigio y de la aplicación de técnicas cuantitativas que permitan establecer o aproximar la potencial gravedad de los accidentes industriales en los que intervienen de manera directa sustancias peligrosas.

Para ello, en el Capítulo 1, introductorio, se analiza la situación global de la seguridad industrial en España, se estudian las técnicas utilizadas en el análisis de riesgos y se presenta la orientación y el esquema general de este trabajo.
En el Capítulo 2 se revisan los índices de riesgo más reconocidos, con el triple objetivo de conocer cuáles son los factores de riesgo determinantes en la gravedad de un accidente industrial, qué ponderación se hace de cada uno de ellos y qué relación matemática se establece para determinar el nivel de riesgo asociado a cada instalación.

Dado que para el desarrollo de este trabajo era preciso seleccionar una base de datos en la que se recopilaran numerosos accidentes con sustancias peligrosas, en el Capítulo 3 se incluye una descripción detallada de las bases de datos y de las referencias bibliográficas que han servido de base o apoyo al estudio realizado. En los Anexos 1 y 2 se detallan la estructura y características fundamentales de las bases de datos MARS y MHIDAS. Este análisis permite identificar también determinados factores de riesgo en el uso industrial de sustancias peligrosas. Por la mayor disponibilidad de acceso, facilidad de tratamiento de la información y cantidad y calidad de los datos recogidos, se optó en su momento por basar el estudio en los accidentes de la base de datos MHIDAS. No obstante, en el análisis de diversas situaciones accidentales, se ha recurrido en muchas ocasiones a otras fuentes, también descritas.

El Capítulo 4 presenta el estudio de la gravedad de los accidentes industriales en función de los factores descriptores disponibles en la base de datos MHIDAS (muertos, heridos y pérdidas económicas). Supone una primera aproximación al problema mediante estadística descriptiva permitiendo ratificar y cuantificar, a la luz del análisis histórico de accidentes, lo que el juicio experto indica de forma más o menos intuitiva y establecer las probabilidades de ocurrencia de accidentes de una determinada gravedad.

La limitación más importante observada en los métodos estadísticos descritos en el Capítulo 4, es que los análisis realizados son uni o bivariantes, por lo que en cada caso se observan las relaciones entre una única variable explicativa y una variable respuesta. Con el fin de generalizar este análisis y poder observar las relaciones entre unas y otras variables, se presentan en el Capítulo 5 los resultados más significativos obtenidos al aplicar a los datos recopilados en MHIDAS, diversos métodos estadísticos multivariante. Los métodos utilizados han sido los siguientes: análisis de correspondencias múltiples y análisis de conglomerados, análisis de regresión múltiple, modelos logit, árboles de clasificación o decisión y análisis discriminante.

En la medida en que cada uno de ellos lo permite, se ha intentado conocer el potencial predictivo y/o explicativo que cada método aplicado aporta al ser utilizado con los datos de MHIDAS. Los resultados obtenidos pueden tener validez y utilidad en el análisis cuantitativo de riesgos al permitir estimar la gravedad de los accidentes a partir de unos pocos parámetros generales.

El Capítulo 6 presenta tres estudios concretos derivados de los análisis anteriores en los que, para ciertas tipologías de accidentes, se predice la evolución de su coste económico con el tiempo, la gravedad de los mismos en función de la cantidad de sustancia interviniente en las explosiones accidentales y una primera aproximación a los árboles de sucesos para sustancias inflamables.

Finalmente se resumen las conclusiones derivadas de la realización de esta tesis y se recopila la bibliografía utilizada como referencia a lo largo de todo este estudio.
The present work is a study of the severity of industrial accidents involving hazardous substances using historical analysis. The final objective is to use a quantitative methodology to develop a technique to estimate the accidents severity.

The hazards that determine the severity of the industrial accidents are much and very complex. Then, a conventional approach using deterministic techniques to develop models to predict the importance of the consequences are inadequate.

There are many compilations and publications where it is possible to find a complete accident description. In the last years, using databases and information systems it has been possible to study a large number of accidents from a qualitative point of view. The traditional use of historical analysis of accidents is focused mainly on the qualitative detection of hazards and to the development of quantitative models.

This work presents a study of several prestigious compilations of accidents and the application of quantitative techniques to these recompilations to estimate the severity of industrial accidents involving dangerous substances.

Chapter 1 (an introduction), analyse the global situation of the industrial safety in Spain and presents the most important techniques used in the risk analysis showing the general structure of this work.

Chapter 2 presents a review of the most important risk index to know what factors of risk are very relevant, the influence of each factor in the total level of risk of the plant and the mathematical relation between all of them.

To develop this work it has been necessary to select a database where a big number of accidents involving hazardous substances have been compilated. In Chapter 3, it is included a detailed description of the databases and other bibliographic references used to develop this work. Annexes 1 and 2 detail the most important properties of MARS and MHIDAS databases respectively. This description permits also identify several relevant factors of risk in industrial environments working with dangerous substances. For his disposability, easiness of use, quantity and quality of information compiled, this study is focused on the MHIDAS database accidents. Nevertheless, in the analysis of several scenarios, other sources of information have been used.


Chapter 4 presents the severity of these accidents as function of several factors available in MHIDAS database system (number of deaths, number of injured, number of evacuated and damage in economic units). This Chapter is a first approximation to the problem using descriptive statistics and its results permits to quantify and verify, using historical analysis of accidents, that the expert judgement shows in a more or less intuitive manner and provides the probabilities of occurrence of accidents of a determined severity.

The most important limitation observed in the use of the statistical methods in Chapter 4 is that the analysis developed are uni or bivariate (they work only with one independent variable and one dependent variable) while in reality they are multivariate. In order to generalise these analyses and observe the relations between both variables, Chapter 5 shows the most significant results obtained applying several multivariate statistical methods to the data compiled in MHIDAS. The methods used in these analyses are: Multiple Correspondence analysis, cluster analysis, multiple regression analysis, logit models, decision trees analysis and discriminant analysis.

According to the interesting results of each method, an attempt to know the predictive and/or descriptive potential of each method when it is used with MHIDAS data has been made. The obtained results have interest and utility in the quantitative risk analysis because they permit to estimate the severity of these accidents using a few parameters.

Chapter 6 presents three studies developed from the previous analysis. In these studies, for certain typologies of accidents, it is possible to predict the evolution of the economic cost in time, the severity of these accidents and a first approach to the event tree for flammable substances.

Finally, the conclusions arising from this study have been summarised, as well as the bibliography taken as a referent in the making of this study.

Abstract:
Accident Hazards, dangers, losses and risk are what we would to like to eliminate, minimize or avoid in industry. Modern industries have created many opportunities for these against which man’s primitive instincts offer no protection. In today’s complex industrial environment safety has become major preoccupation, especially after the realization that there is a clear economic incentive to do so. Industrial hazards may cause by human error or by physical or mechanical malfunction, it is very often possible to eliminate the worst consequences of human error by engineering modification. But the modification also needs checking very thoroughly to ensue that it has not introduced some new and unsuspected hazard.

Abstract:
In recent years personal casualties and fire explosion accidents are often taken place due to pipe failure accidents of petrochemical enterprises in China. For more than a decade years, the authors have conducted extensive investigation and analysis on these accidents and consider that apart from the causes of man-made quality out-of-control and technical level, another major cause is the absence of experience accumulation of some medium environments induced failure accidents for design standards and codes, design units and designers, therefore, it is unable to prevent and control in-service risk factors at the design stage. Since 2003, we have conducted risk-based inspection and analysis of industrial pipelines of all types of units in about eighty large-scale oil refinery plants, chemical plants and chemical fertilizer plants under the jurisdiction of SINOPEC and PetroChina according to API581, API571 etc. in cooperation with Bureau Veritas, France (BV). Through these analyses, we have found out the major failure modes, mechanisms, likelihood and consequences of petrochemical industrial pipelines, and we also consulted the original design and installation documents of all pipelines, it is found that most of the high failure risks of petrochemical industrial pipelines are induced by inadequate consideration to environment induced failure mechanisms at the design stage. In order to avoid repetitive occurrence of these accidents, suggestions on improvement of design and manufacture methods in China are proposed in this paper, that is, the experience of in-service environment-related failures should be fed back to the organizations of design and manufacture standards, design institutions and designers by some effective means, and set up the design and manufacture platform based on risks and life in China, so as to control the risks of pressure pipelines away from accident over the whole life through such measures as reasonable material selection, structural optimization design, selection of reasonable manufacturing and installation process etc. at early stage of design and manufacture.

Abstract:
The history of the chemical industry has been marked by several accidents, resulting in severe loss of life, environmental damage and financial losses. Society and the government began to demand that industries invest in technologies that would prevent new tragedies. However, it soon became clear that accidents were not only linked to the technology used, but also to human error. Understanding human behavior began to be valued. Although industries were safer, accidents continued to occur, now due to management failures. The creation of a management system became necessary. Today, safety management systems are present in sectors as diverse as the chemical industry, mining and civil aviation, with effective improvements in safety. Similar benefits could be obtained in health units. A management system such as that used by the chemical industry can be divided into four areas: “commitment to safety”, “identification of hazards and risks”, “risk management” and “learning from experience”. The first seeks to promote commitment and a culture of safety, as well as to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation and standards. The management system merely complements the national legal and regulatory framework. The identification of accident scenarios, hazards and existing risks is the focus of the second field. The third field deals with the operationalization of the management system in the organization's day-to-day activities, whether through procedures, contractor management, change management, etc. Finally, the last field measures the evolution of safety and promotes the investigation of incidents and accidents. Management systems are tools that can be adapted to the needs of each sector. When implemented properly, they generate significant organizational benefits, reducing operational risk.

Abstract:
La recherche présentée ici s’intéresse aux processus de qualification et de déqualification d’espaces industriels situés en milieu urbain. En effet, à partir de l’étude des arbitrages entre recherche de sécurité et développement urbain dans le contexte particulier d’un site industriel sinistré, il s’agit de voir en quoi la catastrophe s’impose comme un temps brutal, et parfois irréversible, de déqualification d’un espace dédié jusque-là à l’industrie. Ces travaux entendent montrer comment s’opèrent les arbitrages en situation de crise, la prégnance de la catastrophe et de l’émotion qu’elle suscite dans les décisions à court terme. L’un de leurs intérêts réside dans la mise en perspective de deux cas de sites sinistrés. Il s’agit tout d’abord du pôle chimique sud-toulousain, dévasté par l’explosion dans l’usine d’engrais AZF le 21 septembre 2001. Cet accident a entraîné la mort de 31 personnes, des blessures pour de nombreuses autres, et de multiples dégâts matériels dans toute la ville de Toulouse. L’autre cas concerne l’incendie du dépôt pétrolier Shell dans le port industriel Édouard Herriot de Lyon en juin 1987, ayant causé la mort de deux personnes.

Abstract:
This document concerns the regulatory oversight and governance of high-hazard industrial activities. A complex set of laws, regulations and institutions contribute to the social control of these activities, reinforcing and serving as a complement to the risk prevention mechanisms put in place by operating companies. This document focuses in particular on the relationship between regulators and the regulated entities and the impact of the quality of this relationship on industrial safety. The scope is the prevention of major accident hazards in different industry sectors (process industry, transport, energy), in France and at an international level. The document addresses a broad range of meanings for the term “regulator”, including the entities and people who play an official role in regulatory control and societal governance: legislators, control authorities, inspectors, as well as certified third parties with a mandate to control specific activities, and the internal risk control organizations within firms. This document aims to outline the impacts of the regulator-regulatee relationship, its contribution to the governance and control of major accident hazards, and the factors that determine the quality of this relationship and its capacity to contribute to safety.

L'explication naïve et la perception des risques comme des voies pour améliorer les pratiques de REX: des études dans l'industrie chimique et l'industrie nucléaire. Fondation pour une culture de sécurité industrielle, September 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.57071/311rex.

Full text
Abstract:
L’analyse de l’accident soulève de nombreux enjeux dont le poids préfigure également des biais possibles dans l’explication causale et laisse apparaître que l’explication de l’accident peut difficilement être neutre. En l’occurrence, les difficultés rencontrées dans la conduite du REX relèvent en grande partie de conflits qui surviennent lors des analyses d’accidents. Ce document présente quatre études de terrain qui visaient à comprendre l’origine des conflits entre les acteurs du REX lors des analyses d’accidents et à mieux appréhender le rôle de la perception des risques et du climat de sécurité dans la motivation des acteurs à s’impliquer davantage dans les pratiques de REX. Les études sont conduites dans l’industrie chimique et l’industrie nucléaire et portent sur plus de 1000 agents de tous niveaux hiérarchiques (cadres, agents de maîtrise, techniciens, ouvriers) et tous domaines d’activité (prévention, production, maintenance, qualité). La méthodologie repose sur des entretiens, des observations de comité REX, une expérimentation et l’administration de deux questionnaires. Il en ressort que les démarches de REX sont davantage subies qu’elles ne sont portées par les responsables du traitement des accidents en raison des coûts qu’elles engendrent en temps et en énergie, mais aussi à cause du manque d’opérationnalité des règles de traitement des accidents. Il s’avère ensuite que l’absence de dialogue autour des causes des accidents entretient des doutes sur la crédibilité du REX auprès des opérateurs. Mais avant tout, il est clairement établi que la peur d’endosser la responsabilité de l’accident détermine fortement l’explication de l’accident qui devient notamment très défensive. Par exemple, les cadres et les ouvriers se renvoient systématiquement la causalité des accidents: plus ils se sentent menacés par l’analyse d’accident, plus ils en attribuent la survenue à des facteurs internes à l’autre groupe hiérarchique. Les études révèlent également comment les croyances sur les risques conduisent les individus à être plus attentifs au REX sur les accidents directement liés au cœur de métier de leur industrie et moins attentifs au REX sur les accidents de la vie courante, pourtant plus nombreux et plus graves. Enfin, nous montrons en quoi un bon climat de sécurité peut favoriser l’implication des acteurs dans les pratiques de REX.

Abstract:
This document concerns the regulatory oversight and governance of high-hazard industrial activities. A complex set of laws, regulations and institutions contribute to the social control of these activities, reinforcing and serving as a complement to the risk prevention mechanisms put in place by operating companies. This document focuses in particular on the relationships between regulated firms, regulatory authorities and third party intermediaries who play a role in safety oversight (certification bodies, auditors, insurers, professional associations, etc.) and the impact of the quality of these relationships on industrial safety. The scope is the prevention of major accident hazards in different industry sectors (process industry, transport, energy), in France and at an international level. We focus our attention on different forms of “coregulation”, the act of enrolling the entities concerned by regulatory measures in their elaboration and the verification of their compliance, which is believed to improve their appropriation by private actors and thereby produce better oversight than classical command-and-control regulation. We analyze in particular the partial delegation of authority, internal risk control mechanisms and the use of third party intermediaries in the oversight process. This coproduction of regulation by public and private entities is increasingly used in different industry sectors, and leads to a more collaborative and interconnected regulatory process, based on a network of actors rather than a simple regulator-regulatee duopole.

This document provides an overview of sources of uncertainty in probabilistic risk analysis. For each phase of the risk analysis process (system modeling, hazard identification, estimation of the probability and consequences of accident sequences, risk evaluation), the authors describe and classify the types of uncertainty that can arise. The document provides: a description of the risk assessment process, as used in hazardous industries such as nuclear power and offshore oil and gas extraction; a classification of sources of uncertainty (both epistemic and aleatory) and a description of techniques for uncertainty representation; a description of the different steps involved in a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) or Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), and an analysis of the types of uncertainty that can affect each of these steps; annexes giving an overview of a number of tools used during probabilistic risk assessment, including the HAZID technique, fault trees and event tree analysis.
