Reactive chemicals incident

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

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).

That was a reactive chemical incident, fortunately a minor one. Dow defines a reactive chemical incident as a chemical reaction which produces the conditions for or causes an uncontrolled or dangerous energy release which may result in or has the potential for resulting in injury or property damage. Some of the worst disasters in chemical history have resulted from uncontrolled chemical reactions. 

In most cases, the chemistry of the process is well understood. In Dow s experience, the major factors in reactive chemicals incidents (multiple factors are involved in some incidents) are ... 

All reactive chemicals incidents are to be reported to site management and to the local Reactive Chemicals Committee as soon as possible, but in no case later than 48 hours after the incident. 

A process review is a formal procedure in which all factors that could lead to a reactive chemicals incident are investigated and lines of defense are identified and implemented. Process reviews are conducted on new processes and on changes in existing processes before they are put into operation. They also are conducted upon changes in supervision and periodically on existing processes. In addition, a reactive chemicals incident may trigger a process review. 

Reactive Chemicals Incident - A collective name which includes all Reactive Chemicals Accidents and Reactive Chemicals Near Misses. 

All appropriate operations personnel will be trained on the reactive chemicals potential for the chemicals they work with and to recognize the events that could lead to reactive chemicals incidents. 

Help investigate and report reactive chemicals incidents. 

Be involved in reactive chemicals incident analysis and corrective actions globally.
