Level crossing accidents causes

Therefore, there are three main types accidents of tank area can trigger a domino effect fire, explosion, and fire—explosion occurred in both cases simultaneously cross. The first accident has devastating effects of thermal radiation, and other physical effects like overpressure effects may work on equipment close to the first unit, resulting in the close tank rupture, fire, explosion, that is the secondary accident. Under certain conditions, the secondary accident may lead to higher levels of three or more accident, causing extremely serious consequences of the accident. In simple terms is that two or more times of accidents caused by the initial Tank accident (mainly fire and explosion), and became a serious consequences phenomenon is called Tank domino effect. Figure 1 shows the mechanism of Domino effect in LPG tank area accidents. [Pg.270]

Most of what is known about the toxicity of dioxins in the human comes from individuals exposed incidentally or chronically to higher levels (e.g., industrial accidents or presence in areas sprayed with Agent Orange or other herbicides contaminated with dioxins.). The lowest dose effects are probably associated with thymic atrophy and decreased immune response, chloracne and related skin lesions, and neoplasia (cancer). Dioxins can cross into the placenta to cause developmental and reproductive effects, decreased prenatal growth, and prenatal mortality. [Pg.70]

Like most accidents and disasters, the Columbia disaster did not have just one isolated cause. Many historical, social, political, and technological factors interacted across different organizational levels and in different subsystems to create unsafe conditions, unrealistic expectations, and faulty decision-making (chapter 14). For example, imbalanced goals and ineffective learning combined with production pressures and fragmented problem-solving that missed cross-checks and the big picture (chapter 15). [Pg.349]
