“Process safety deals with the fires, explosions, and toxic releases and things like that. You can have a very good accident rate for what we call “hard hat accidents” and not for process ones.” – Dr. Trevor Kletz

There is a wealth of knowledge readily available on Process Safety Incidents yet there are tens of thousands of incidents where a series of failures result in a fire/explosion, injury and loss of life due to working in hazardous atmospheres. Why aren’t we learning the lessons from past incidents to ensure the proper safeguards are in place to prevent these types of incidents?

Trish Kerin, Director of the IChemE Safety Centre talks us through why we aren’t learning from past incidents when it comes to hazardous atmospheres.
