Engineering: general

At last, smaller chemical processing operations have truly easy access to process safety and risk management programs tailored to meet their needs.

Almost all the major accident investigations--Texas City, Piper Alpha, the Phillips 66 explosion, Feyzin, Mexico City--show human error as the principal cause, either in design, operations, maintenance, or the management of safety.

Knowledge management has become an important topic for the theory and practice of organisation management.

The human element is the principle cause of incidents and accidents in all technology industries; hence it is evident that an understanding of the interaction between humans and technology is crucial to the effective management of risk.
