| Resumen |
Report of the investigation by the Health and Safety Executive into the fatal fire at the chemical factory of Hickson & Welch Ltd, Castleford, United Kingdom on 21 September 1992. A jet of flame erupted from an access opening on the side of a batch still during a non-routine clean-out operation. The flame cut through an office/control building nearby and also struck a larger office block. The incident could have been prevented if the hazards and risks associated with the operation had been accurately assessed beforehand and suitable precautions taken. The report highlights several important lessons of general relevance to the chemical industry. |
