Chemical incidents

Describe any prior reactive chemical incidents with these materials. Include previous safety studies. 

DOE Chemical Safety Program http //dewey.tis.eh.doe,gov/web/chem salL tv/ This web site provides principles, chemical incidents in the DOE and hypertext connccimn to toxicity data. 

Instances of chemical accidents, like to those of Section 7.1, relative to the hazards listed in Step 3 are listed. Information for these must come from various souices since there is not a single database for chemical incidents. If the plant has operating experience, this is valuable information, although the data may be sparse. 

In the majority of the countries, the necessary equipment and potential have been provided for to counteract the main affections from chemical incidents. These measures include not only the setting up of specialized organizations and institutions such as public health establishments or emergency committees and commissions, but also creation of reliable information sites and systems.

The Chemical Incident Simulator simulates the dispersion of chemical warfare agents, detector responses, the effects of protective equipment, and die human toxicological responses for large numbers of scenarios. The possibilities and potentials offered by the Chemical Incident Simulator are illustrated best with an example. 

Thus, the Chemical Incident Simulation model largely eliminates the subjectivity involved in scenario studies, and procurement of protective and detector equipment. 

Provides indicators of a possible chemical incident (page 354). 

Page 354 Covers Criminal/Terrorist Use of Chemical/Biological/Radiological agents, and differences between a Chemical, Biological and/or a Radiological agent, and indicators of a possible chemical incident. 

The Chemical Incidents Report Center (CIRC) is an incident database initiated by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board. An online search of this database (www.chemsafety.gov/circ), as well as a more general web search, may be a good starting point for a literature survey. 

Develop recommendations for reducing the number and severity of reactive chemical incidents.

The chemical industry evaluates the reactivity of a substance in a variety of ways. With input from key stakeholders, CSB developed the following definition of a reactive incident (synonymous with reactive chemical incident ) ... 

Suggested improvements to industry guidance or initiatives (e.g., Responsible Care [ACC], Responsible Distribution Process [RDP NACD]) to reduce the number and severity of reactive chemical incidents. 

Sources of incident data include a variety of public-domain databases, technical literature, and news accounts (Appendix E). Sources are categorized in Appendix E as reviewed only if incident data did not meet the CSB definition of reactive chemical incident (Section 1.3).
