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?)
What specific changes in design, control, operation, training and/or regulation do you recommend based on your findings?
