Deepwater Horizon/ Macondo, Gulf of Mexico Explosion and fire leading to nine fatalities, a massive environmental spill, and enormous financial loss. 

A common strategy for evaluating incidents and for identifying root causes is to use the incident pyramid or triangle shown in Figure 1.10, a concept introduced in the year 1931 by H.W. Heinrich. The basic idea behind the triangle is that serious events such as fatalities, large environmental spills, and serious financial losses occur only rarely. By contrast, near-misses and low-consequence... 

Incidents as a term is to encompass all hazards-related events (HAZRINS) that have been referred to as accidents, mishaps, near misses, occupational illnesses, environmental spills, losses, fires, explosions, et cetera. 

This paper focuses on the difference between relevant maintenance scenarios in terms of system production. Another important aspect in many cases could be safety and environmental issues. This is more difficult to quantify than production but if it is applicable to the system of interest the optimal solution can not be found without taking it into account. If this is to be integrated into one large cost model, more input is necessary, namely the expected (discounted) cost of e.g. production loss, environmental spill and accidents of various severities. 

Within the last five years, regulatory agencies and other parties have started using more quantitative methods to determine the relative risks associated with residual levels of contamination found after an environmental spill or release such as a PCB transformer or capacitator failure. 

Fires can also start from poorly planned dismantling or disposal of equipment containing residues of flammable liquids or when dealing with spillages as part of environmental spill protection procedures.
