Drawings, Posters and Metaphors in Safety Science
Some Historical Remarks
Safety visualisations and their influences on safety concepts are presented. Visualisations like safety posters show a clear message of fear and guilt. This changes after World War II, due to a more tolerant atmosphere. Latent, organisational factors as decisive elements of accid

At the OCI Nitrogen ammonia plant, located at the Chemelot site in Geleen, The Netherlands, a project has been initiated to monitor major accident processes at the site. This contribution answers the question whether indicators can be derived from the barrier system status to pro

Predicting major hazard accidents by monitoring their barrier systems
A validation in retrospective
OCI Nitrogen, one of Europe's largest fertilizer producers, is investigating the extent to which it is possible to take targeted measures at an early stage and stop the development of major hazard accident processes. An innovative model has been developed and recently explained a

Domino effects in chemical factories and clusters, risk in the eye of the beholder
An historical perspective and discussion
Major accidents in Western countries, receiving a lot of media attention in the 1970s, are starting point for research into internal and external domino effects in the chemical and petrochemical sectors and clusters. Initially, these reports are published by government institutio

Professionalization of safety is gaining some interest in international safety literature, including (post)graduate training and education of safety experts. Different from research, there are hardly any publications and discussions on the quality of (post) graduate safety educat

From clapham junction to macondo, deepwater horizon
Risk and safety management in high-tech-high-hazard sectors: A review of English and Dutch literature: 1988–2010
Objective: What is the influence of general management trends and safety research on managing safety? Method: A literature study which is limited to original English and Dutch books, documents, and articles in relevant scientific journals, for the period 1988–2010. Results and co

Occupational safety and safety management between 1988 and 2010
Review of safety literature in English and Dutch language scientific literature
Research question: What is the influence of general management trends and research into causes of accidents on safety management? Method: The literature study is limited to English and Dutch books, documents and articles in the scientific, professional, and technical literature f

In 2016 werd in Nederland het programma Duurzame Veiligheid 2030 opgestart door een gezamenlijke actie van industrie, wetenschap en overheid om de veiligheid in de (petro)chemische industrie te maximaliseren. Om dit te bereiken, worden via vijf roadmaps concrete activiteiten, pil

In The Netherlands, there are six large (petro)chemical clusters. Companies in these clusters are located next or close to each other. The policy of the Dutch government is to invest in these clusters, and to stimulate their growth. However, there is little scientific evidence th

Mechanical integrity of process installations
Barrier alarm management based on bowties
A Safety Research project was carried out in an ammonia plant of OCI Nitrogen, located at the Chemelot site in Geleen, The Netherlands. This research focused on the development of a method to monitor accident processes in the chemical industry mainly caused by mechanical integrit

Ever since safety started to be investigated in a consistent manner, around 150 years ago, there has been a tremendous improvement, both in our understanding of accident processes, and in reduction of harm and damage caused by these occupational and major accidents. Major improve

Quality of (post)academic courses on safety and health is a delicate topic. In the scientific safety literature quality of these courses is hardly an item of publications. Evaluation of (post)academic safety and health courses hardly go beyond an inventory of trainees’ perception

Hoe effectief zijn procesveiligheidsindicatoren?
Indicatoren en managementfactoren
Procesveiligheidsindicatoren geven informatie over ongevalsscenario’s en over de effectiviteit van veiligheidsbarrières. Dat is de bedoeling. Het is de vraag of dat lukt. In de vakliteratuur wordt een onderscheid gemaakt tussen leidende (leading) en volgende (lagging) indicatoren

Dit artikel laat ontwikkelingen en beperkingen zien van grafische presentaties van veiligheidsconcepten. Veiligheidsposters zijn krachtig en overtuigend met een duidelijke boodschap. De vroege posters spelen in op angst, schaamte en schuldgevoelens. Vanaf de jaren zeventig in een
