“…Correlating the accident contributors and process life cycle, about half of the contributors are related to initial design stages, followed by detailed engineering and operational phases. Linking the design errors with design stages of chemical processes was established in another research . Most of the design errors (93 %) were found in the research and development stage.…”

Review of Process Industry Accidents Analysis towards Safety System Improvement and Sustainable Process Design

Risk assessment is the tool for maintaining perfect safety management systems and aiding sustainable process design, with hazard identification as the critical step. This step can be executed by past accidents analysis (PAA) to achieve the mentioned objectives. Despite of available analyses, the recurring of accidents identifies the shortcomings in PAA and requires a detailed examination as reported in this review. The intensified exploration of accident information will strengthen both the safety management system at existing facilities and process designing in terms of sustainability.

“…According to Jain et al [21], error-tolerant design also means that an operator cannot make an error quickly, or conversely the design should be forgiving regarding possible operator error, and if part of the equipment is failing, it should not lead easily to an upset. At the same time, past experience is that design errors contributed quite frequently to accident [35,36]. The same holds for the design of operational procedures.…”

Resilience of Process Plant: What, Why, and How Resilience Can Improve Safety and Sustainability

Resilience is the ability to restore performance after sustaining serious damage by a usually unexpected threat. This paper analyzes resilience of process plants as there are oil and gas refining, chemical manufacturing, power-producing plants, and many more. Over the years, plant safety has shifted from retrospective to proactive measures. Safety is important from many points of view, such as protection of workforce and nearby population, but certainly too from an economical and sustainability aspect. Pro-action requires predictive insight of what in the process can go wrong because of internal or external disruptive disturbance. Over the years, to that end, much effort was spent developing risk assessment methods and management. However, risk assessment has proven to be fallible because of various uncertainties and not the least by overlooked or unknown threats. To protect against those upsetting threats, measures can be taken up to a certain limit. These start in designing error-tolerant equipment able to be receptive to early warning signals during operations, responding to those with ‘plasticity’ of mind (that is, an organization and its leadership especially able to think ‘outside-the box’ for coping with unexpected situations), and finally, to deploy effective emergency response and able to recover from damage quickly. The paper presents a summary/review of nearly a decade of research work at the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center at the Texas A&M University to develop the concept and the techniques to realize a resilient plant, so far with a focus on chemical plant. It is, however, still a ‘work-in-progress’; potential is large. Besides the conceptual details, cases are presented that show how human and technical factors, combined in a socio-technical system, can lead to a broader plant safety insight enabling more effective risk control and increased resilience. These cases have up to now only considered warning signals and possible management action, while still limited to internal threats. Hence, aspects of equipment design and recovery should be further considered, also in the light of the dynamics of present-day business environment.

“…Hence, it has become a challenge for them to understand good safety practices. Another study presented the weakness of risk management practice in reporting accident cases (Kidam, Sahak, Hassim, Hashim, & Hurme, 2015). The accident occurrences in firms were poorly documented, which resulted from substandard input quality and investigation.…”

“…Notably, the substandard reporting of the accidents is perceivably due to the inefficient implementation of the HIRARC system. Nevertheless, most accidents can be prevented using the existing knowledge and technology if the causes are known and foreseeable (Kidam et al, 2015).…”

This study investigated the implementation of the occupational safety and health (OSH) risk management system, known as the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC), in small-medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Specifically, the implementation of the HIRARC system’s challenges and weaknesses faced by SMEs were investigated based on a systematic literature review of two databases, namely SCOPUS and Google Scholar. The results show that there was scant work on the HIRARC system implementation and limited specific industries, such as construction and production. Additionally, the challenges faced by SMEs were categorised into the HIRARC system’s weaknesses and the organisation’s inadequacy in implementing the system. This study provided implications to the OSH regulators in continuously promoting the HIRARC system’s significance while improving the system and encourage its assimilation among SMEs in Malaysia. This study is also hoped to provide some guidance to the SMEs in Malaysia in implementing OSH risk management system.
