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:
China is suffering from severe environmental accidents that many have catastrophic impacts on public health and the environment. It is urgent to update the standards for environmental accidents prevention in China. This paper analyses the causes of fifty-three major accidents that happened in 2008 to obtain insight to help prevent similar events in the future. The results show that production accidents, which were mainly triggered by process analysis, training and human error, were the dominant causes of environmental accidents in China. In addition, current regulations on the control of environmental accident hazards and their implementation are also presented in this paper, which comprise legal requirements centering on hazardous chemicals, industrial safety evaluation, risk analysis and preparation of emergency plans. Based on our analysis, some key points that should be developed in future environmental accident hazard control measures are put forward with the aim of shedding light on decision making and risk management in China.

Abstract:
Sustainable development can be restricted by major accidents which occur in hazardous industries. Almost every major accident may have negative influence on each of the three constituents of the sustainable development: social, environmental and economic part. A characteristic feature of the most of major accidents is severe damage to the structural systems built inside and outside of the industrial facility in which the accident happens. To avoid such accidents or at least to reduce their consequences, structural systems should be designed using a risk‐based approach. On the level of detailed structural design, a formal measure of risk should be introduced and applied to express the effectiveness of the structural solution in terms of accident mitigation and minimization of potential consequences. The structural design should involve the consideration of possible accident scenarios and positive or negative contribution of structures and structural failures to the escalation or de‐escalation of the accident. This can be done by applying the risk‐oriented structural design. A well‐established methodological framework for such a design is provided by the quantitative risk assessment. A consequent application of a risk‐based approach can be one of the risk management tools which will reduce the number of major accidents and thus their negative influence on sustainable development. Santrauka Darnus vystymasis gali būti stabdomas sunkių pramoninių avarijų, kurių kartkartėmis nutinka pavojingose pramonės įmonėse. Beveik kiekviena sunki avarija gali turėti neigiamą įtaką vienam iš trijų darnaus vystymosi komponentų: socialiniam, gamtiniam ir ekonominiam. Būdingas beveik kiekvienos sunkios avarijos bruožas yra rimti konstrukcijų, stovinčių tiek avariją patyrusioj gamykloj, tiek ir už jos, pažeidimai. Norint išvengti tokių avarijų ar bent mažinti jų pasekmes, konstrukcines sistemas reikia projektuoti taikant rizika grindžiamą požiūrį. Rengiant detalų projektą reikia naudoti matematinį rizikos matą, kuriuo galima išreikšti konstrukcinių sprendimų efektyvumą, užkertant avariją ar mažinant jos pasekmes. Projektavimas turėtų aprėpti galimų avarijos scenarijų analizę bei teigiamą ar neigiamą konstrukcijos įtaką potencialiam avarijos eskalavimui ar deeskalavimui. Tai galima atlikti pasitelkiant projektavimą, kuris yra orientuotas į riziką. Metodologinis tokio projektavimo pagrindas yra kiekybinis rizikos vertinimas. Sistemingas jo taikymas yra vienas iš rizikos valdymo būdų, leidžiančių sumažinti sunkių avarijų skaičių ir neigiamą jų įtaką darniajam vystymuisi.

Abstract An effective communication among authorities, citizens and industry is crucial to ensure good awareness of risk and knowledge of adequate reactions in preparedness to major industrial accidents. The present risk communication system in Czech Republic was evaluated by a nationwide survey. The main research was focused on the level of knowledge about risks and appropriate reactions to an accident and on the attitudes towards existing risk communication system. The results of survey indicate that the current system is insufficient and has to be improved to fulfill the requirements of the new Seveso III directive (2012/18/EU) and to secure safety of the citizens.

Abstract:
O uso do geoprocessamento em estudos de saúde pública permite, entre outros, a identificação de variáveis espaciais que revelem a estrutura social, econômica e ambiental, onde estão presentes riscos à saúde humana. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver uma metodologia de integração das informações de riscos de acidentes maiores para o Distrito Industrial de Paulínia por meio do uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento. Foram consideradas diversas hipóteses acidentais de 31 instalações de armazenamento e distribuição de GLP e de combustíveis líquidos. Para o tratamento dos dados foram empregados softwares específicos de análise de risco e Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG). O software de análise de risco foi responsável por simular possíveis cenários acidentais, gerando polígonos de extensão das áreas atingidas. Já o SIG foi utilizado para a sobreposição dos resultados, geração de um banco de dados, soma dos valores de risco e elaboração de mapas para a análise integrada dos riscos. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que a sobreposição dos riscos de vários empreendimentos é significativa e que políticas de uso e ocupação do solo são necessárias para evitar o adensamento populacional no entorno, bem como, disciplinar a distribuição das instalações dentro de áreas industriais, de tal forma a minimizar os riscos individuais e sociais.
The use of the geoprocessing techniques in public health allows the identification of spatial variable that disclose social, economic and environmental structure in risks\' areas. The aim was to develop a methodology for integration of risks of industrial accidents in the Industrial District of Paulínia by using geoprocessing techniques. Accidental hypotheses of 31 installations of storage and distribution of LPG and liquid fuels had been considered. For the treatment of the specific data were used softwares of risk analysis and Geographical Information System (GIS). With the software of risk analysis were simulated all the possible accidental scenarios, generating polygons of extension of the reached areas. The GIS was used for the overlapping of the results, generation of database, adds values of to risk and elaboration of maps for the integrated analysis of the risks. The results demonstrated that the overlay of the risk areas was significant and land use policies are necessary to avoid increasing of population around risks area, as well as, to discipline the distribution of installations inside the industrial areas to minimize individual and social risks

Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Segurança e Higiene do Trabalho
Mesmo antes da revolução industrial que a população tem tendência a morar em zonas adjacentes às unidades de produção, abandonando o campo e localizar-se nas zonas exteriores das cidades e formando os subúrbios. Com avanço da tecnologia o ser Humano conseguiu descobrir novos elementos e substancias mais voláteis desta forma aumentado as possíveis consequência de uma ocorrência nessas unidades fabris, após a ocorrência de acidentes industriais graves com consequências para a população do ambiente foi necessário criar normas para a localização estratégica dos estabelecimentos, para que em caso de acidente grave as consequências fossem mitigadas, assim como a adopção de normas e regras de segurança para prevenção de acidentes graves. Em Portugal existe um normativo legal referente à prevenção de acidentes graves (Decreto-lei nº 254/2007 de 12 julho) alterado pelo Decreto-Lei n.º 42/2014, de 18 de Março, e num país que normalmente não se vai além do que esta estabelecido é importante verificar as sinergias que são criadas entre a população e agentes de prevenção, para verificar esse facto foi escolhido o concelho de Palmela para estudar este facto e discutir as sinergias presentes entre os agentes e as populações.
Abstract: Even before the industrial revolution that the population tends to live in adjacent areas to production units, abandoning the field and to be located in the outer areas of cities and thus forming the suburbs. With the advancement of technology Human Being was able to discover new elements and more volatile substances in this way increased the possible consequence of an hazardous occurrence, after the occurrence of major accidents with consequences for the population and the environment was necessary to create standards for the strategic location establishments, so that in case of severe accident, the consequences were mitigated, and the adoption of safety rules for accident prevention. In Portugal there is a legal policy concerning the prevention of major accidents (Decreto-lei nº254/2007 de 12 de Julho) Changed by Decreto-Lei n.º 42/2014, de 18 de Março, and in a country that usually does not go beyond what this set, is important to check the synergies that are created among the population and prevention agents, to verify that fact was chosen Palmela in order to study and discuss the synergies present between agents for prevention and populations

Abstract:
A risk assessment study is conducted in a denim manufacturing plant in Turkey. The study is carried out within the framework of a project on adopting the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive of the European Union. The scope of the assessment is fire or explosion risk with regards to hazardous chemicals present in the plant. The receptor of the study is defined as &ldquo
people&rdquo
which include the employees in the plant, employees of nearby plants and people in residential around the mill. A semi-quantitative risk assessment is carried out using checklist, a risk matrix and risk evaluation forms. The highest risks in the plant are identified as dust explosions, natural gas jet fires, natural gas explosions. Also, it is identified that due to several causes, in case of a fire or explosion the scale of an accident may enlarge instantaneously. The main warehouse is determined to carry the highest risk value in the plant. Mathematical modelling studies are conducted to calculate the hazard radius for dust explosions and natural gas fire and explosion. According to the results of mathematical modelling, the highest consequences could lead to destruction of buildings or severe injuries/fatalities of people within large hazard radius up to 700 m. The risk present at the manufacturing mill is communicated to the facility management throughout the study. Several suggestions are proposed to the facility management and some of them are already implemented.

Abstract:
Esta dissertação trata do processo de construção social da norma internacional, na área de segurança química. Partiu- se de uma realidade local --- a ocorrência de um acidente industrial ampliado --- e de seus impactos sobre o ambiente internacional. Nesse sentido, foi fundamental perceber aquela realidade local como um fato social, construído por meio de uma conscientização ambiental ou anuência coletiva mais ampla. Daquele processo de construção social, aliás, faz parte a constituição dessa consciência coletiva quanto às ameaças ambientais, fortalecida politicamente pelo aval da comunidade de Nações, quando das Conferências de Estocolmo (1972) e do Rio de Janeiro (1992). Por isso, seguindo parâmetros teóricos construtivistas, optou-se pela análise da forma como se deu o processo de construção ideacional e normativa mais abrangente, em matéria ambiental, nas relações internacionais contemporâneas; para, posteriormente, abordar a construção social do acidente e da norma gerada, parte daquele processo. Quanto à organização e à mobilização da sociedade civil, bem como quanto à influência dessa mobilização sobre os Estados, atribuiu-se destaque especial aos agentes de propagação de idéias, referidas à proteção ambiental e à segurança química, bem como a suas plataformas organizacionais. Para tanto, dada sua relevância social e empírica, escolheu- se, como objeto de estudo, o acidente industrial ampliado, ocorrido em 1984, na cidade de Bhopal, Índia; e a Convenção 174 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho para a prevenção de acidentes industriais ampliados.
This paperwork deals with the social construction process of the international norm in the chemical safety realm. The point of departure was a local reality -- the occurrence of a major industrial accident --- and its impacts on the international environment. The perception of that reality as a social fact, constructed from a wider environmental awareness or collective acquiescence, was essential. The constitution of that collective awareness is part of the referred social construction process and was politically strengthened by the international community when it assembled in the Stockholm Convention (1972) and the Rio Convention (1992). Following certain constructivist theoretical parameters, the wider ideational and normative scenario, related to environmental questions in the contemporary international relations, was first analysed. Afterwards, the focus was directed towards the social construction of the accident and the norm negotiated. In relation to the civil society organisation and mobilisation, as well as to its influence on state behaviour, it was given emphasis on the role of agents of environmental protection and chemical safety ideas and its organisational platforms. As per its social and empirical importance, it was chosen as object of analysis the major industrial accident, occurred in 1984, in Bhopal, India, and the Convention 174 of the International Labour Organization concerning the Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents.

Esta dissertação refere-se a um estudo exploratório dos riscos de acidentes ampliados no Pólo Industrial de Camaçari bem como das vulnerabilidades do seu entorno. Para tanto realizou-se uma análise do planejamento urbano no entorno do Complexo Petroquímico de Camaçari, quanto aos aspectos protecionais existentes no Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Urbano - PDDU do Município de Camaçari, frente aos riscos desses acidentes. Realizou-se também uma análise das vulnerabilidades daquele município, indicando estratégias de conhecimento e minimização dos danos pós-sinistros, causados por acidentes ampliados gerados pelas empresas do Pólo. Promoveu-se, ainda uma analise, junto ao Instituto do Meio Ambiente - IMA do plano de contingência do Pólo, denominado pelo Comitê de Fomento Industrial de Camaçari - COFIC como “PROJETO APPOLO II”. Efetuou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os principais acidentes ampliados ocorridos no Brasil e no mundo, um levantamento histórico dos acidentes ocorridos no Pólo e catalogados pelo Conselho Consultivo de Camaçari e uma análise das vulnerabilidades da defesa civil de Camaçari. As análises do PDDU, do Projeto Appolo II e as observações in locco concluíram que: 1) há riscos para a população da sede daquele município dado a proximidade do Pólo, 2) a Defesa Civil de Camaçari não está munida de equipamentos e sistemas protecionais necessários e adequados a situações de enfrentamento dos riscos de acidentes ampliados; 3) não há um plano de contingência para a população da sede do município de Camaçari.Como resultado este trabalho sugere a elaboração de um plano de contingência para o município de Camaçari e outras medidas no sentido de suprir as deficiências constatadas.

Abstract:
Os acidentes industriais de grande dimensão como os que ocorreram em Seveso, Bhopal, Schweizerhalle, Enschede, Toulouse e Bouncefield, levaram a Comunidade Europeia a desenvolver um conjunto de legislação, traduzido nas diretivas Seveso, com o objetivo de prevenir acidentes maiores envolvendo substâncias perigosas e limitar as possíveis consequências de tais acidentes para a saúde humana e o meio ambiente. A transposição da diretiva denominada Seveso III trouxe para a legislação nacional a aplicação de critérios em novos licenciamentos de estabelecimentos industriais com armazenamento e operação de matérias perigosas com determinadas exigências ao nível do ordenamento do território, mecanismos de prevenção e um aspeto muito relevante que é a informação pública. Esta diretiva estabelece, no seu artigo número 30 (alínea número 3) que os operadores, em articulação com os municípios, devem prestar a informação à população que provavelmente será afetada por um acidente grave sobre medidas de autoproteção e comportamento a adotar em caso de acidente industrial. No presente trabalho pretendeu-se avaliar a informação pública prestada pelas entidades competentes à população presente em áreas suscetíveis a acidentes industriais. Consideraram-se duas empresas do concelho de Sintra, de nível inferior de perigosidade, e que distam 900 metros uma da outra. Ambas estão inseridas em áreas de habitação, com outras indústrias, escolas, hipermercados e outras zonas comerciais. Realizaram-se 104 inquéritos, por entrevista à população de forma aleatória. Metade dos inquiridos não sabe que vive ou trabalha numa área de possíveis acidentes industriais graves. A maior parte dos inquiridos (89%) nunca receberam, ou raramente receberam, informação sobre os riscos presentes nos seus locais de habitação e trabalho. Os resultados obtidos mostram que na eventualidade de um acidente industrial grave a maior parte dos inquiridos não sabe que medidas de autoproteção deve implementar.
Major industrial accidents such as those in Seveso, Bhopal, Schweizerhalle, Enschede, Toulouse and Bouncefield have led the European Community to develop a set of legislation, translated into the Seveso Directives, to prevent major accidents involving hazardous substances and to limit the risks and the possible consequences of such accidents on human health and the environment. The transposition of the Seveso III Directive has brought into national law the application of criteria in new licensing of industrial establishments with storage and operation of hazardous materials with certain spatial planning requirements, prevention mechanisms and a very relevant aspect that is the public information. Article 30 (paragraph 3) of this Directive states that operators in liaison with municipalities must provide information to the population likely to be affected by a serious accident on self-protection measures and behaviour to be adopted in the event of an industrial accident. This paper aimed to evaluate the public information provided by the competent authorities to the population present in areas susceptible to industrial accidents. Two companies with low hazard level and 900 meters apart were analysed. Both are located in housing areas with other industries, schools, hypermarkets and other commercial areas. 104 population surveys were conducted by interview at random. Half of respondents do not know that they live or work in an area of possible major industrial accidents. Most respondents (89%) never received, or rarely received information about the risks present in their homes and workplaces. The results show that in the event of a major industrial accident most respondents do not know what self-protection measures should be implemented.

Abstract:
Abstract Major industrial accidents with catastrophic consequences routinely occur around the world and as the industry continue to grow, so will the system complexities and uncertainties. Hence, the need for a more dynamic approach to hazards identification and risk management, to proactively mitigate potential exposures in a real-time manner. Evidences suggests that, dynamic approach to risk management is capable to identifying and assessing developing and increasing industry risks and processes. The Piper Alpha investigation and derivation and adoption of safety case framework in the UK, was a proven approach to mitigate Major Accident Hazards on the front-end design of high-risk process facilities and through their lifespan. With increasing process systems complexities however, dynamic risk management an enhanced conventional method would be the next generation approach to ensure safer operations. This paper aims to stimulate discussions on the novel Dynamic Risk Management (DRM) approach, leveraging on advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) as a new risk management pathway to industrial accident prevention.

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:
Attention to be paid to the aging of industrial facilities has been growing in the last ten years, both by public authorities and industrial executives. Many process plants, operating in Europe, have reached or exceeded their project nominal life and the safe management of aging is an urgent question. Failures, due to aged chemical process plants, cause the release of hazardous materials with severe consequences for people and workers. To counteract this phenomenon, plant operators carry out many technical activities, including non-destructive controls on piping and vessels, by adopting sophisticated methods (e.g. Risk Based Inspection RBI). The European Directive 2012/18/UE (Seveso III) for the control of Major Accident Hazard (MAH) introduced a few requirements for the safe aging of critical equipment, which must be verified during mandatory audits. The aim of this work is to present a synthetic methodology that can be useful for both Seveso auditors and industrial managers for evaluating the adequacy of the measures to control the aging of critical equipment. To achieve a synthetic assessment of the adequacy of the aging management programs, a compensated index method has been developed, which is a simple and easy-to-use tool. The use of an index method inevitably introduces a degree of uncertainty. However, if it is compared to other qualitative methods, such a tool offers the advantage of a major clarity in the assessment process. This paper discusses a practical application of the method within inspection programs, as required by the art. 27 of Seveso III Directive.

Abstract:
At the beginning of the French nuclear history, CEA controlled all the nuclear development including its safety. In 1950s, this situation was changed by the participation of many industrial companies, which means industrialization of nuclear technology. This change became clearer when they adopted PWR in 1970. And so they needed and established a system to make safety regulation by putting the multiple actors’ opinions together. After the accident of Chernobyl, antinuclear public opinion has increased. And in 1997, The Greens obtained the post of the Minister of Ecology. These facts required more independent and transparent regulatory system, so in 1998, a report which proposed to establish a new regulatory organization was published. On the basis of this report, they founded ASN in 2006. From this French history, we can say that as the relationship between nuclear technology and the society changed, the regulatory body also changed to meet the necessity.

Abstract:
The European Facility for Industrial Transmutation (EFIT) is developed to transmute long-lived actinides from spent fuel on an industrial scale. In this lead-cooled reactor an intermediate loop is eliminated for economic reasons. Within the framework of design and safety studies the impact of a steam generator tube rupture accident has been investigated. In this postulated event high-pressured liquid water blasts into the lead pool which could trigger various transients. As a major concern steam could be dragged into the core featuring a positive void worth. A thermal lead/water interaction could lead to in-core damage propagation; it could initiate a sloshing of the lead coolant and trigger voiding processes. Furthermore the pressurization of the cover gas needs to be considered. To prove the feasibility of the proposed design these risks are investigated and assessed. Numerical simulations are performed using the advanced safety analysis code SIMMER-III [2]. For the important issue of thermal lead/water interactions the SIMMER code has been validated against Japanese heavy-liquid/water injection experiments.

Abstract:
Industrial equipment and machine tools have major causes of accidents in the industrial sector, and in order to seek to offer a work environment that guarantees the health and physical and emotional integrity of workers, this study purpose to analyze a conventional milling machine in order to identify the risks and damages that it presents to its operator. Listed the accident risks, based on the brazilian regulatory standards, this is regulatory standard with specific name of NR 12, to propose improvements to reduce the risks of accidents in machine rotative. By identifying the possibility of adapting the equipment to brazilian legislation, it makes it safer for the worker and ensures that its operation will not be impaired. NR 12 can be established as a guarantee of security for employees when handling their equipment on a production line or in the operating area. Some standards contained in the cluster of brazilian regulatory standards will be cited to exemplify how the inclusion of this law is necessary and mandatory for the safety of all employees.,

Abstract:
River transportation conveys economic advantages to industry, when it is compared with road transportation. River vessels transport different types of cargoes that are critical for many industrial processes. Watercrafts can suffer different types of mishaps, including sinking and capsizing. The consequences of such events can be costly from the human and economic perspectives. In this context, a major economic consequence can be the closure of any navigation activities in this type of infrastructure. This situation was observed in the Rhine river in 2011, when a river tanker capsized and provoked the closure of the river for some weeks. Based upon the report of this accident, in this paper a simplified model is proposed to analyze such mishap, to reinforce the conclusions conveyed in the report about the contributing factors for this accident. In particular, the crucial effects associated to the dynamic interaction of the liquid cargo and the ship.
