Accident recording

The lower volatihty of JP-8 is a significant factor in the U.S. Air Force conversion from JP-4, since fires and explosions under both combat and ordinary handling conditions have been attributed to the use of JP-4. In examining the safety aspects of fuel usage in aircraft, a definitive study (15) of the accident record of commercial and military jet transports concluded that kerosene-type fuel is safer than wide-cut fuel with respect to survival in crashes, in-flight fires, and ground fueling accidents. However, the difference in the overall accident record is small because most accidents are not fuel-related. 

Anonymous, How to Prevent Runaway Reactions, EPA 550-F99-004, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, August 1999. In addition to the accidents mentioned in the reference, a significant number occurred prior to the 1989 time frame. Serious incidents arc recorded as early as 1957. Accident recording before 1957 was incomplete.

Risks were expressed as triplets . The first element of the triplet was found using accident records and a PHA. The databases used were MHIDAS (1992) (>5(XK1 accidents) and ACCIDATA (>1,500 mostly Brazil). The PHA was performed by personnel from REDUC (facility operator) and PRINCIPIA (the PSA vendor). About 170 basic initiating events (raptures of pipes, flanges, valves, spheres, pumps and human actions) were grouped into 12 initiators by equivalent diameter, pressure, flow type and rapture l(x ation. 

Documents such as job descriptions, operating manuals, emergency procedures, accident, and "near-accident" records, can be useful sources of information about the task to be studied. Pipework and instrumentation diagrams can also be used to gain an insight into the complexity of the process, the type of control loops installed, and the process parameters to be manually controlled by the workers. 

There have not been any accidents recorded that have mentioned metal halides (except with interhalogens , which are very reactive anyway). Nevertheless, it seems important that calcium should not be in contact with such halides without taking any precautions. It was noticed that calcium starts glowing when it is heated with boron trifluoride. 

The amount of detail on accidents recorded on the data base varies and the different levels of detail present, are indicated by a star ( ) rating code. The higher the star ( ) rating, the higher the richness of information present inside the database, as shown in Table 4 from the instruction manual of the FACTS database (FACTS, 2002). 

Transport incidents the CER describes specific transport initiatives and includes a statement that In 1997-1998, no accidents recorded during transport commissioned by Solvay led to damage resulting from the substance carried .

Heinrich law reflects a general rule between the frequency and the severity of accident, and also illustrates the randomness of accident severity or the severity lying on chance factors. Therefore, it s very difficult to control accident severity. In order to prevent major accidents, we should go all out to prevent accident occurrence, especially, attach great importance to near misses and other small accident records and reports (Wu Xu 2002). Because of small accident causing little loss, it is often easily overlooked, but it is actually a favorable indicator of the safety performance (Yu Wang 2004), which can provide comprehensive and timely feedback for safety management. 

Enterprise should pay attention to near misses or little accident records and reports, execute every procedure strictly to prevent the occurrence of accidents or injuries. 

Identification of hazards and level of risk may be helped by reviewing the school s accident record forms. Further statistical data from agencies such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), the National... 

The accident record for fatalities and serious injuries estabUshes that hazards and risks that have severity potential are seldom considered and reduced to a practical minimum in the design process. Thus, it is not unusual to find severe injury potential in facilities and operations in place. 

Pavement inventory may also contain additional data such as bridge or underpass locations, road marking, streetlights, safety barriers, street furniture in general, accident records, construction, maintenance, rehabilitation cost, contracting companies data, noise and air pollution measurements and anything else related to the road.

The contribution of Chauncey Starr (Starr 1969, 1976) is the most representative ofthis trend. Basically, Starr s strategy consists in evaluating the historical acceptability of risks associated with various activities as a function oftheir benefits. These works are founded on empirical data such as accident records, which are revealing the relationship between the acceptability of a risk and social values hence the revealed preferences method. Starr s conclusions are, for example, that the acceptability of risk is roughly proportional to the third power of the benefits, or that the public is willing to accept voluntary risks approximately one thousand times greater than involuntary risks (Starr 1969).

Best practice information on safe working practices in the coastal and maritime engineering sector has been assembled through examination of HSE statistical data and through detailed discussions with clients, consultants, contractors and suppliers, examining current operational procedures, accident records and perceptions of risk. 

Best practice information on safe working practices in the coastal and maritime engineering sector has been assembled through examination of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) statistical data and through detailed discussions with clients, consultants, contractors and suppliers, examining current operational procedures, accident records and perceptions of risk. This document incorporates lessons learnt from previous experience in the coastal and maritime construction sectors, and contains guidance and recommendations for all stakeholders involved in the safety of construction work in the coastal and maritime environment. 

On the reaetive side, the Environment Agency maintains a database of information on health and safety information relating to its staff, contractors and the public. The purpose of the database is to ensure that accident records (including near misses) are investigated and lessons are learnt thereby improving the Agency s ability to examine why incidents occur and provide better protection and a safer working environment. Unfortunately, the database had not been operational for sufficient duration to make use of the data. 

Let s begin by reviewing the for-your-eyes-only accident list we developed in Part 390 of this manual. So far, there are only four accidents recorded.
