Review of previous edition:
"Trevor Kletz's book makes an invaluable contribution to the
systematic, professional and scientific approach to accident
investigation." The Chemical Engineer
Fully revised and updated, the third edition of Learning from
Accidents provides more information on accident investigation,
including coverage of accidents involving liquefied gases, building
collapse and other incidents that have occurred because faults were
invisible (e.g. underground pipelines).
By analysing accidents that have occurred Trevor Kletz shows how we
can learn and thus be better able to prevent accidents happening
again. Looking at a wide range of incidents, covering the process
industries, nuclear industry and transportation, he analyses each
accident in a practical and non-theoretical fashion and summarises
each with a chain of events showing the prevention and mitigation
which could have occurred at every stage.
At all times Learning from Accidents, 3rd Edition emphasises cause
and prevention rather than human interest or cleaning up the mess.
Anyone involved in accident investigation and reporting of whatever
sort and all those who work in industry, whether in design,
operations or loss prevention will find this book full of
invaluable guidance and advice.
Completely up-dated.
Shows, by analysing accidents that have occurred, how we can learn
from them, and prevent the same accidents happening again.
