• Process Plant & Machinery
• Utilities ( Power, Steam,
Nitrogen etc.)
• Finished Product
• People (Operation, Maintenance
and Supporting Staff)
Industrial Accidents
“Industrial Accidents are caused
by chemical, mechanical, civil,
electrical, or other process
failures
due
to
accident,
negligence or incompetence, in
an industrial plant which may
spill over to the areas outside
the plant causing damage to life
and property.”
Industrial Accidents
These may originate in:
• Manufacturing and formulation installations
including during commissioning and process
operations; maintenance and disposal.
• Material handling and storage in
manufacturing facilities, and isolated
storages; warehouses and godowns
including tank farms in ports and docks and
fuel depots.
• Transportation (road, rail, air, water, and
pipelines).
Major Threats
• Fire
• Explosion
• Toxic release
• Poisoning
• Combinations of the above
PROBABLE CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS
• Process deviations i.e pressure,
temperature & flow.
• Parameters with regard to the state of
the substance i.e., solid, liquid or gas,
proximity to other toxic substances.
• Runaway reaction.
• Hardware failure, resulting in largescale spills of toxic substances.
• Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour
Explosion (BLEVE) on the chemicals
during transportation.

Electrical failure
Cutting and welding
Open flame
Carelessness
Poor housekeeping
Smoking
Sabotage
COMPOUNDING OF EFFECTS OF
ACCIDENTS
• Meteorology of the area, wind speed
and direction, rate of precipitation,
toxicity/quantity of chemical released,
population in the reach of release,
probability of formation of lethal
mixtures and other industrial activities
in vicinity.
