need help with a short report 3-5 pages long regarding Chemical Engineering topic
We can learn a lot by examining what went wrong in chemical/industrial accidents. The assignment is to research your assigned accident from the list below and to prepare a three-five page report (1.5 line space, 12 point font, Times New Roman, 1 inch margins). Your report should provide the following information:
· a bit of background information on the company involved
· the location of the accident
· the facts surrounding the accident (who, what, where, when, why and how), Be very specific on the probable cause of the accident and reasons for number of injuries/fatalities, ie. Reactions involved? Safety system failure? Operator error? Engineering design flaws? Corrosion of materials?
· the effects of the accident (human and financial)
· some pictures if you can find them
· findings of whatever investigative bodies reviewed the accident
· what was learned from the accident (how can an event such as this be prevented in the future?)
1. What specific changes in design, control, operation, training and/or regulation do you recommend based on your findings?
