“…Ruckart and Burgess (2007) noted that 3,506 chemical accidents had occurred in mining and manufacturing industries; 3,282 of these chemical accidents were the result of human error. Human error was also the most cited cause of all occupational injuries (Dekker, 2003).…”

“…After an investigation, OSHA concluded that the deaths were due to inadequate emergency response; the employer should have contacted the Regional Poison Control Center to manage the injury (Blodgett et al, 2001).

Although few occupational chemical injuries are reported each year, the severity of these injuries increases their importance to occupational health nurses who intervene to prevent these injuries by understanding their nature and etiology. This article is a review of the literature detailing specific occupational chemical injuries as well as a review of common occupational chemical injuries in the United States focusing on pulmonary, ocular, and burn injuries.

“…In the study of Vinnem, Hestad, Kvaloy, and Skogdalen (), there are significant correlations between number of leaks and safety climate indicators, and, interestingly, their very extensive study of the Norwegian oil industry showed that leak frequency and equipment age did not show a positive correlation. The study of Ruckart and Burgess () of hazardous material events in the mining and manufacturing industries has analyzed the key role that human error contributes to spill events. In their study, 11.6% of all events in these industries resulted from human error.…”

given that IBCs could not be eliminated from the project, and two engineering solutions were put in place to prevent spills from occurring from piercing by telehandler tines. Administrative controls (i.e., those least effective) applied included the introduction of quality assurance checks for the verification of IBC condition at various stages throughout the chain of custody.These verification checks were not limited to the Consent conditions, which define the environmental guidelines to which construction projects must comply as part of the approval process, also define spills as specific environmental impacts that must be prevented, and if they do occur they must be managed, and there is considerable focus on the management of petroleum-based spills and contamination in the Australian resources sector (Altham & Guerin, 2005;Guerin, 2005Guerin, , 2008Guerin, Turner, & Tsiklieris, 2004).Based on communication with peer environmental managers in the industry, the author's own informal research suggests that more than 50% of all construction environmental incidents in Australia involve spills. Therefore, spills can pose a significant challenge in meeting approval conditions and ongoing compliance requirements. Safety in the Chemical Supply ChainOne of the environmental aims of a facility under construction is to ensure that there is no unintentional loss of containment of oil, refined petroleum products, or other hazardous materials used by earthmoving equipment. The supply of such materials to construction sites presents a risk as it exposes these sites to the potential for loss of Analysis of Spill CausesThe impact of leaks and spills on company or corporate health, safety, and environmentLessons learned from spill incidents need to be communicated to oil and gas operators and their contractors more broadly across the upstream oil and gas industry to assist in reducing the incidence and severity of these events.Environmental Quality Management / DOI 10.1002/tqem / Summer 2015 / 27 Root Cause Analysis of a Minor Spill environmental concerns for end users in their supply chains. Method Description of OperationThe contractor company that was operating the IBC-handling equipment when the spill occurred was the primary earthworks contractor engaged to supply services to the oil and gas company that had land tenure on the island on which the resources construction project was being built. Site LocationThe incident occurred at an LNG construction site located offshore from Western Australia on a remote island classified as a Class A NatureReserve. The site where the spill occurred was as a tool of continuous improvement. RCA, initially, is a reactive method of problem detection and solving. This means that the analysis is done after an incident has occurred. However, by gaining proficiency in RCA, it becomes a proactive method. RCA is then able to estimate the possibility of an incident before it occurs.RCA consists of the following steps:• Define the problem;• Analyze the problem; and • Where a robust analysis of ...
