“…In this work, both the 24Model and 5Whys method would be utilized in the accident analysis. The 24Model ( Figure 1) initially proposed by Professor Fu et al [26][27][28] was an accident causation model, which was based on Reason's Swiss Chesses Model (SCM), 29 The fundamental difference between the SCM and the 24Model lies in the definition of the hazard. 31,32 The SCM model considers the inherent hazards in the organization as root causes of the accident, which are difficult to be removed.…”

Academic research in the laboratory is often considered as the work with lower risks compared with other process industries. Whereas, it is revealed that there are still many accidents happening in the laboratory, causing deaths, injuries, and economic losses. In order to identify the main causes and improve the safety management, an explosion accident in a laboratory of a university is thoroughly investigated based on the 24Model and 5Whys method. The results indicate that inadequate safety knowledge and insufficient safety awareness of the experimenters serve as main contributors of the accident. In order to effectively prevent such accidents, it is necessary to strengthen the safety training of the experimenters and associated technical managers, so as to create a good safety culture atmosphere in the university. Moreover, a smart safety management system based on internet of things (IoT) is established for the laboratory, which contains equipment management subsystem, experiment consumables management subsystem, personnel management, training and assessment subsystem, environmental monitoring subsystem, and accident diagnosis subsystem. With the help of the system, daily safety of the laboratory can be greatly improved.

“…The best approach to learning about safety is to draw lessons from accidents: it is seen as a great challenge to remember key safety cases so as to avoid unsafe acts in practice, as there are endless accident cases and causes in the world . The chemical enterprises should develop practical accident learning system and the government or industry should urge and supervise the implementation of the learning process from the aspects of the contents, frequency, hours, document, examination, improvement, and so on.…”

On March 21, 2019, a serious explosion of hazardous chemicals occurred in Tianjiayi Company located in Xiangshui Chemical Industry Park in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, China. Seventy‐eight people were killed and 716 were injured. It is the most severe accident since the globally recognized fire and explosion at a hazardous chemical warehouse in Tianjin Port, Tianjin, China in 2015. According to the preliminary analysis of the Yancheng accident and the review of previous studies about the Tianjin Port accident, there are similarities regarding the process of the two accidents. Therefore, in addition to reporting the investigation results of the Yancheng accident, an important aim of this work is to focus on the brief comparative analysis between it and the Tianjin Port accident. The comparisons were mainly conducted according to the basic information of the events, triggers and processes, individual factors, organizational management factors, external regulatory factors, and then the differences and similarities between the two accidents are summarized. Thus, useful lessons in the aspects of the storage and management of hazardous chemicals, safety training and accident learning, implementation of safety management system, government supervision, and so on, can be drawn to avoid similar mistakes within the industry.

“…In fact, 60% of the injuries recorded in the construction industry in China were caused by falling from the heights, and it can be said that human factors contribute in most of these incidents [8]. It is difficult to avoid incidents effectively, despite the existence of many theories, due to the lack of understanding of the causes of accidents, so the best way to solve this problem is to remind people of the causes related to accidents and do the right thing [9]. The failure of governments to force contractors to implement safety measures, and the lack of awareness and culture among workers about the importance of safety at worksites consider the main reasons that lead to increase injury rates [10].…”

Adopting BIM Technology in Fall Prevention Plans

Building Information Modeling is a modern technique that has contributed in improvement of construction industries. Early detection of hazards during the life cycle of the project will contribute to protect the working environment from exposure to risks that will affect the time and cost. The changing nature of the sites makes it difficult in identifying the fall risks accurately. Based on BIM 4D simulation, the objective of this study is to create a computer model by using BIM technology to help accurately determine (a) the hazards of falling from the edges (b) the hazards from struck by falling objects, by relying on the opinions of safety experts in identifying potential risks and demonstrating the effectiveness of this technique in facilitating hazards acknowledgment. In this research, Iraqi safety rules and safety rules of OSHA were adopted. The research idea was applied to a school building project under construction as a case study to benefit from the research outputs in improving the safety of school’s buildings projects. The results displayed that the model prepared by the researchers helped the safety managers in understanding the details and sequence of work easily, thus contributed to the precise identification of the falling hazards, use suitable safety equipment for each risk, in addition to the possibility of using this model as a training program for workers in the workplace to help give an idea of the nature of risk which they may be exposed it, increase safety communication and generate time schedule empty from risks. Safety managers believe that this model can contribute to improve workplaces safety and prevent time and cost losses due to reliance on inaccurate methods based on static 2D schemes and sense in risk identification.
