| Summary: | The general lessons from an incident are often more important for preventing future occurrences than the details of what actually happened in that particular event. An incident is always a specific example of a more general category of potential incidents. If the investigation and follow up consider the more general lessons, you can prevent other similar events. Several specific reactive chemistry incidents will be discussed, with an emphasis on general lessons which can be applied to a broad range of processes. |
