| Abstract |
Accident reports for explosions in the chemical, petroleum refining and biotechnology industries occurring in the Russian Federation in 1990-92 were reviewed to determine their consequences for control-room personnel. Nineteen accidents involved injury to workers (100 victims, many of them repair workers), eight with fatalities (17 victims); injuries were sustained by persons in or near the control room in six cases (22 victims), with fatalities (8) in two of the events. The high proportion of deaths suggests that control-room structures must be reinforced. |
