Review of previous edition: "Trevor Kletz's book makes an invaluable contribution to the systematic, professional and scientific approach to accident investigation". The Chemical Engineer Fully revised and updated, the third edition of Learning from Accidents provides more information on accident investigation, including coverage of accidents involving liquefied gases, building collapse and other incidents that have occurred because faults were invisible (e.g. underground pipelines). By analysing accidents that have occurred Trevor Kletz shows how we can learn and thus be better able to prevent accidents happening again. Looking at a wide range of incidents, covering the process industries, nuclear industry and transportation, he analyses each accident in a practical and non-theoretical fashion and summarises each with a chain of events showing the prevention and mitigation which could have occurred at every stage. At all times Learning from Accidents, 3rd Edition emphasises cause and prevention rather than human interest or cleaning up the mess. Anyone involved in accident investigation and reporting of whatever sort and all those who work in industry, whether in design, operations or loss prevention will find this book full of invaluable guidance and advice.

Accident investigation is like peeling an onion. Beneath one layer, of causes and recommendations, there are other, less superficial layers.The outer layers deal with the immediate technical causes while the inner layers are concerned with avoiding the hazards and with weaknesses in the management system. Often only the outer layers are considered and thus we fail to use all the information for which we have paid the high price of an accident. This book aims to show, by analysing accidents that have occured, how we can learn more from them and thus be better able to prevent them occuring again. Looking at a wide range of accidents from the trivial to major disasters and covering the process industries, nuclear industry and transportation, the author analyses each accident in a practical and non-theoretical fashion and summarises each with a chain of events showing the prevention and mitigation which could have occured at every stage. At all times the book emphasises cause and prevention rather than human interest or cleaning up the mess. The chapter on Piper Alpha has been especially written for the book by Brian Appleton, one of the technical assessors of the official enquiry. Anyone involved in accident investigation and reporting of whatever sort and all those who work in industry, whether in design, operations or loss prevention will find this book full of invaluable guidance and advice.

This series of essays on safety and loss prevention is aimed at helping the process industries avoid accidents and improve its public image. The central message is the apparent inability of organizations to learn, and retain in the long term, the lessons drawn from accidents. Thus incidents of a similar type recur within the same company at intervals of a decade or so, as personnel involved move on to other jobs.

This practical book is useful both for inspection preparation and helping to promote the ongoing importance of personal responsibility and commitment to children's safety and well-being. It condenses management and safeguarding issues by bringing together food safety, health and safety legislation and the welfare requirements within the revised Early Years Foundation Stage 2014. It outlines the importance of complying with legal responsibilities and discussing the outcomes of failing to comply. This helps to prioritise safeguarding through knowledge of the inspection process. The book focuses on raising awareness and promoting a culture of safety to try and prevent accidents, incidents and food poisoning outbreaks in settings. It provides advice and guidance on how to improve quality, gradings, and food hygiene rating scores. It also outlines the importance of taking ownership, being confident and familiar with the inspection process by giving a broad overview and easy to follow format on topics to prompt staff discussions, reflection, and further individual research. This book is a must have for all staff working within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and could be used for training, workshops and professional discussions.

Have you ever experienced a life changing injury to work colleagues or even a fatality in your workplace? Andrew Tilleard has and it has been life changing. As someone who has first-hand experience of working internationally in the offshore oil and gas seismic exploration industry, first in operations then later as a safety consultant, he has seen and experienced a lot of dangerous work practices offshore especially in the almost wild-west pre-Piper Alpha North Sea days of the 1980s.This book was created as a reference for safety professionals and willful business managers across all industries to understand how safety management should work to protect people, details where safety vulnerabilities can exist within organisations and the often catastrophic consequences that can result when top management are not aware of what is really going on in their businesses. It also provides guidance on how to organise, implement and verify safety management components to manage risk more effectively.The book has been created as a book of two halves. Part 1 deals with eleven major accident scenarios, the stories of how these disasters unfolded and why they happened. Part 2 of the book extracts the contributory safety management failings from these events, explains what these risk management processes should do and provides some guidance on setting up an effective system having learnt from these disasters. In summary the book has been written to: - Summarise some of the most significant industrial accidents of recent times, giving an abridged version of events leading up to each accident scenario in an accessible and non-technical way.- Describe the root and contributory causes of these accidents.- Provide guidance on a number of important safety management elements which failed to some degree in the accidents described and detail how they are supposed to work.These accident scenarios provide a rich seam to mine when we examine safety management failings. These are not hypothetical events or theoretical scenarios, they are real-world accidents that happened leaving a wake of destruction in their path for the people involved, their families and out into the wider community too. These accident scenarios illustrate how effective safety management controls within an organisation can be influenced and distorted by the acts and omissions of workers and management and by the often-hidden influences of human factors and by human error. The results of these influences have the potential to impact on anyone of us if we are unfortunate to be in the line of fire on a particular day, in a particular place at a particular time
