Managing Major Hazards - The lessons of the Moura Mine disaster (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

Many organisations live with hazards that have the potential to
cause disaster. This was the case at Moura underground coal mine in
Central Queensland, where 11 men died in an explosion in 1994.
Andrew Hopkins shows that the explosion was the result of
organisational failure, and uses it to draw lessons about managing
major hazards. He argues that there are always tell-tale signs of
impending disaster, and that organisations need to find ways of
gathering this information and reacting to it appropriately. The
Moura story also demonstrates the need to move responsibility for
risk management up the corporate hierarchy to ensure that it is not
overshadowed by production pressures. Otherwise disasters will
repeat themselves in horrifyingly similar ways. Managing Major
Hazards is a gripping story and essential reading for occupational
health and safety professionals, executives working in hazardous
industries, policy makers, and readers interested in risk
management and disaster studies.
