Four major industrial accidents will be studied and the health and safety measures in place prior to these accidents will be critically analysed in a case by case fashion for each accident. I will then put forward an argument stating whether a similar accident could happen in today¶s industry and then make a conclusion. 2.1 The explosion at Shell¶s Pernis refinery in 1968 This accident was a vapour cloud explosion caused by trying to break an emulsion through excessive heating. One of the ironic things noticeable is that the main reason for this accident was the result of an H&S procedure at the Pernis site. That procedure was the decision to treat the untreated crude oil with water to dissolve salts and therefore prevent the risk of severe corrosion and other hazards that could have led to an accident in its own right. Unfortunately by treating the oil with water a stable emulsion was formed which they decided to heat to try and break the emulsion. (Ministry of Social Affairs and Public Health, Report concerning an inquiry into the causes of the explosion on 20th January, 1968 at the premises of Shell Nederland Raffinaderij in Pernis. State Publishing House, The Hague, Holland (1968)) Heating oil has long been recognized as hazardous by oil companies (AMOCO, Booklet No.1, Hazard of Water. AMOCO, Chicago (1964)) Perhaps with the heating of the oil it would¶ve been safer to stir the tank then let it settle to stop th ings like this accident occurring. At the very least someone should¶ve been observing the temperature of the contents and checking for fumes above the tank. If a HAZOP or risk assessment or H&S tool of similar kind had been conducted on this procedure things may have turned out differently. We have to bear in mind that this accident occurred in 1968 and was before the any H&S culture, so to speak, and therefore technology and safety precautions we take for granted nowadays weren¶t in place at that time. When a chemical plant is designed and built health and safety should be a major concern but in the case of Pernis some mistakes were made. One common theme in major chemical plant disasters is that the plant is located too near to human habitation. This is also the c ase in the Pernis incident as many nearby buildings in Rotterdam were damaged by the explosion (Ministry of Social Affairs.
