Making Safety Second Nature
Abstract
From the 1960s onwards the chemical and oil industries developed and used a number of new safety techniques which, in time, became second nature to those who used them. They included the use of QRA for deciding priorities, Hazop and audits for identifying problems, inherently safer design for avoiding hazards, and more thorough investigation of incidents for identifying underlying causes. However, it has not yet become second nature to remember the accidents of the past and the actions needed to prevent them happening again.
