TOPIC: Chemical Plant Accident Investigation

A significant reality concerning chemical accidents is that these situations are dominated initially by response and containment activities to minimize damage to surrounding areas, to save lives, to notify proper authorities, establish media communications, and numerous other details before an investigation can begin

Based upon the presenter’s personal experience in the chemical industry and in actual chemical responses the presentation will identify some key guidelines and principles for an effective response and investigation. Colorful slides will also review chemical release scenarios and factors contributing to the accidents.
