      There is no way possible to monitor the millions of industrial businesses in the US and the biggest problem is there is a ton of inefficiency in the government, there needs to be some major restructuring done to eliminate the overlap. There is an old saying that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and that's the government for you. Rather than regulations, there needs to be stricter penalties and even prison time for offenders, that would do a whole lot more to reduce accidents.

      Well it's normally one error that ends up leading to multiple errors because of the first one. While we humans are very very good at trying to think of everything....we still make mistakes. It is very unfortunate but today we get to believe we will 100% be safe at work every day and we will always get to go home at night as long as we follow all the guidelines. Back in the day....companies used to predict how many employees would die before a job would be completed....it wasn't a if....it was a "well lets see how many die this time...maybe instead of 30 we can only lose 29 this time..."
      These freak accidents are the very few things that we don't think of or are easily overlooked. Fortunately(and unfortunately) when these accidents do occur....it further increases future generations safety at the job site. Millions have died in the past for us to be as safe as we are today.

    When my plant shuts down, I stand right next to the contractors when they do their first welds. I figure if I can't feel comfortable standing right next to them, my job has not been done. I wonder if the people at this plant who said "its not my job" or "its not required by federal law" think about the fact that they might have done something to prevent this. Contractors are working in an environment they know nothing about. And several folks didnt go home to their families because people were lazy shirkers. That's a damn shame

      This is common, and usually decided by a risk analysis. Early on they said the content was mostly water, and the flammable gas would be minimal if operated according to their design. This would make the tank a low risk system and therefore not worthy of increased monitoring. The problem was introduced when changes to their procedures were not controlled, ie no one purged the turpentine. This doesnt seem like a design problem to me, it seems more like a change control issue...

      ​@@KeissRandomKeissenor rather than change control, simply verifying procedures? Perhaps you are saying the same thing in different words.
      Regardless, FMEA should have shown that procedural deviations could expose workers to increased hazards. A simple mitigation would be to verify purging (or another name for getting rid of the excess turpentine) procedures had been followed prior to issuing hot work permits. I agree it's not an engineering design issue, but some of these procedures could be redesigned for increased documentation and verification before hot work/other hazardous activities.
      If it is low risk only when x activity happens, then x activity must be monitored and verified.

In my experience working operating crews for 20 years there are a few people out there who's work needs to be checked constantly and that causes incidents and puts extra stress on other workers but in my opinion 90% of workplace incidents come down to management not spending the money on training or listening to operators when they try to address an issue or pushing to get the job done...

You would be amazed at the disconnect between engineers/management and workers. My job was to see show the management/process writers how the job was actually done and at times show them the way they wrote it(looks good on paper) was not always the best practice for our particular plant. Got a couple of good catches in my time there and helped make improvements for my fellow workers. It really is something that people who have never worked in a plant, been on the floor, tell us the best way to do our jobs.
