Accidents history

It is a good practice to ensure that both the toller and client have records of the complete incident and accident history for the toll. This information can be vital to the industry as a database of experience with the tolled process. Process safety concerns for future tolls of the product or related materials can benefit from this practice. 

Judgement may be based on the accident history, type of facility, storage conditions, control technologies in place, and other factors. 

A new job or task with no accident history or information about its potential for incidents. Many incidents occur in a job or task where the employee is not accustomed to the job. 

Research indicates that the OSHA Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) identified 70 percent of the reactive incidents in Section 3.3, but none were tracked as reactive incidents. Only 25 percent of the reactive incidents that occurred from June 1994 through June 1999 were reported to EPA. These reports are contained in the RMP 5-year accident histories sent to EPA prior to the June 1999 deadline for initial submissions. 

A performance-based system-rather than a list of reactive chemicals -is suggested as another alternative for extending regulatory coverage of reactive hazards. Such a system would consider the risk of reactive chemicals, site-specific (extrinsic) factors such as siting and proximity, and conditions that create potentially reactive situations. Objective criteria such as the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, accident history, or number of employees could be used to establish coverage.

Hazard assessment. A hazard assessment is required to assess the potential effects of an accidental (or intentional) release of a covered chemical/material. This RMP element generally includes performing an off-site consequence analysis (OCA) and the compilation of a five-year accident history. The OCA must include analysis of a least one worst-case scenario. It must also include one alternative release scenario for the flammables class as a whole also each covered toxic substance must have an alternative release scenario. USEPA has summarized some simplified consequence modeling...

The Mary Kay O Connor Process Safety Center is conducting a number of projects on Development of Accident History Databases, Analyses of Accident History Databases, and Risk Assessment Based on Accident History Databases. One such project involves the compilation of incidents from various sources. 

EPA s CEPPO home page contains substantial information regarding accident prevention and risk management planning. Readily available information on right-to-know, emergency response, accident histories, and chemical information is easily found, EPA chemical fact sheets with hazard information on over 300 industrial chemicals are provided.

The EPA requires, in addition, periodic audits by the implementing agency, such as the state or local air permitting agency. The frequency of such audits would be based on (1) accident history, (2) quantities of regulated substances, (3) proximity to public receptors, and (4) hazards identified in the Risk Management Program [2(220)].

The rule requires that a 5-year accident history report be prepared for the facility. This report should include a description of injuries or fatalities on or off the site during the 5-year period. However, it does not have to include information about near-miss situations. 

Accident Factor — In addition to the five regulatory rating factors, a sixth factor is included in the process to address the accident history of the motor carrier. This factor is the recordable accident rate which the carrier has experienced during the past 12 months.
