| Abstract |
Accidents that have occurred in recent years in the metallurgical and coke by-products industry are reviewed. In 1999, 35 fatal accidents occurred, 35% more than in 1998. 63% of the accidents are attributed to unsatisfactory work organization, 20% to engineering and equipment defects and 17% to the violation of technical rules. Causes of accidents were: technical gases (32%), escape of hot materials or gases (21%), failure of moving parts (20%), internal transport (17%), and falling objects (10%). Past omissions and future needs are listed. Thus, procedures must be formulated, actions listed, and inspections and verifications made more rigorous. |
