A leak at the Bitterfeld polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant caused an explosion, killing 42 and injuring hundreds, due to the release of toxic vinyl-chloride gas. The incident exposed severe safety negligence and cost the state over a billion East German Marks.
Ask yourself and your crew:
- How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
- What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
- How do we know the risk controls/barriers we have in place are working?
- What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers, or the way we work?
