Safety Questions
1. How safe are chemical processing plants?
2. What is the safe distance from a blast?
3. What is the major cause of accidents?
4. Which workers are the most likely to have accidents?
5. What is the first layer of process safety?

Process Industry Safety
1. We work in an extremely hazardous environment, but we get blinded by the day to day familiar-ness of the environment.
2. I worked in a refinery that was built in 1940s. The older workers would point out to the new employees the points in the refinery where people had been accidentally killed.

Process Industry Safety
A 1968 American Insurance Association study of
317 large loss chemical plant explosions and fires in a 20 year period showed the following critical factors.
a. Equipment failures were critical in 31% of the cases.
b. Operational failures were key in 17.2% of the accidents.
c. Weak Safety Programs were an issue in 8% of the cases.

Electrocutions occurring between 1982 and 1994 were studied by the National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) in 1998.
The NIOSH researchers, Kisner & Casini, analyzed 224 electrocutions which resulted in 244 workplace fatalities.
These fatalities accounted for approximately 7% of all workplace deaths.

The information they learned provides valuable lessons for everyone that works with or around electricity.
� Younger males die most often. Victims ranged in age from 17-70 years, 99% of them were men, 64% died prior to age 35, and 99% of the incidents involved alternating current (AC).
� New hires need to take the most care. 41% of all victims were on the job for under 1 year.
� Construction workers had the highest percentage of electrocutions at 40%. Other predominate industries included: transportation/communication/public utilities (16%); manufacturing (12%); and agriculture/forestry/fishing (11%).

Utility line workers (linemen) typically receive extensive training in electrical safety, yet they had the highest number of fatal injuries.
55% of linemen fatalities were caused by failure to use required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, sleeves, mats, or blankets.
Laborers, who generally receive little or no electrical training had the next highest fatality rate
