Domino effect accidents are an important process safety issue affecting process plants where significant amounts of hazardous materials are stored, transported, and processed. Losses of containment that result in fires or explosions can escalate to nearby equipment, due to thermal radiation, blast overpressure or other mechanisms, thus ...
A domino effect is the cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a series of similar [1] or related events, a form of chain reaction. The term is an analogy to a falling row of dominoes . It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively short.
The accident triangle, also known as Heinrich's triangle or Bird's triangle, is a theory of industrial accident prevention. It shows a relationship between serious accidents, minor accidents and near misses. This idea proposes that if the number of minor accidents is reduced then there will be a corresponding fall in the number of serious ...
The Swiss cheese model of accident causation is a model used in risk analysis and risk management. It likens human systems to multiple slices of Swiss cheese , which has randomly placed and sized holes in each slice, stacked side by side, in which the risk of a threat becoming a reality is mitigated by the differing layers and types of defenses ...
Heinrich's classic work was refuted by a 1980 book Industrial Accident Prevention, by Nestor Roos, H Heinrich, Julienne Brown and Dan Petersen. [6]Heinrich Revisited: Truisms or Myths by Fred A. Manuele, CSP, PE [2002, ISBN 0-87912-245-5 published by National Safety Council offers the following in the last chapter.
Many models to characterize and analyze accidents have been proposed, [10] which can be classified by type. No single model is the sole correct approach. [11] Notable types and models include: [12] Sequential models Domino theory [9] Loss causation model [13] Complex linear models Energy damage model [14] [full citation needed] Time sequence models
Tripod Beta is an incident and accident analysis methodology made available by the Stichting Tripod Foundation [1] via the Energy Institute.The methodology is designed to help an accident investigator analyse the causes of an incident or accident in conjunction with conducting the investigation.
The domino theory is a geopolitical theory which posits that changes in the political structure of one country tend to spread to neighboring countries in a domino effect. [1] It was prominent in the United States from the 1950s to the 1980s in the context of the Cold War , suggesting that if one country in a region came under the influence of ...
