Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Standard. Eairfax, VA American Industrial Hygiene Association, 2005. 

The book includes appendices of useful lists to help you apply the systan safety engineering and risk assessment tools and safety management system program described in the book. Typical energy sources, generic hazard checklists, and facility safety checklists are included. The final appendix gives yon some useful website addresses for more information. 

Most or the incidents described were the result or not rollowing good engineering practice. Some violated the law, and many more would if they occurred today. In the United States, they would violate OSHA 1910.147 (1990) on The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lock Out/Tag Out) and the Process Safety Management (PSM) Law (OSHA 1910.119, in force since 1992). which applies to listed chemicals above a threshold quantity. The PSM Law requires companies to follow good engineering practice, codes, industry consensus standards, and even the company s owm standards. OSHA could view failure to follow any of these as violations.
