Case let 1
The following report appears in the records of accidents in a major manufacturing concern. A new plating
machine has been installed and was being check out for proper operation. During this check it was fond
that bearing on the caustic solution circulating pump were defective and had to be replaced. The pump
was removed, repaired and was being reinstalled. An electrician was assigned to make the electrical
connections on the same pump.
The electrician finished his part of the assignment except for checking the direction of shaft rotation.
Since the plumber was out of the area the electrician asked the company representative supplying the
equipment if the pump was ready to the tried out, and he stated that it was. The electrician walked to the
end of the platter to start the motor and the plumber appeared on the scene at the same time. Shout to the
electrician not to start the pump were too late because he had already turned the pump on. At this
moment, hot caustic solution showered out of the pipe flange which had not yet been reassembled and
tighten. The solution splashed onto the plumber, two engineers in the area and other plant engineering
employee and the vendor representative. The plumber received burns requiring immediate hospitalization
and will be out of work for about two months. One of the engineers requires subsequent hospitalization
for eye burns and was off work for over a week, while the other three involved received only minor burns.
Question:
1. How could this “accident” have been avoided? How would you recommend preventing
occurrence of a similar accident in the future?
Case let 2
The Gladwin Company, a manufacturer of glassware with 1,200 employees, has had the following injury
record for the past three years. The earliest year is shown first. Injuries involving days away from work:
44, 53, 47. The past year, one worker suffered permanently disfiguring burns; another lost four fingers on
his right hand. Severity, which the union calculated on the old Z16.1 basis, was 600; 1,100; and 1050.
The company employs a full time safety specialist and has a safety committee. There is a relatively strong
union, part of a national organization.
The union and management are in the midst of somewhat bitter contract negotiations. The union
representatives in the third say of argument have introduced a demand that the union be given equal
authority with management in all aspects of safety. They maintain working conditions are not safe enough
and that the union should be given authority to set minimum safety standards to stop production when
these areas not complied with and to cooperate as an equal partner with the present safety committee in
inspecting and determining fault and remedy.
Question:
1. What do you think the management representative should do? Should this union demand be granted?

Case let 1
Oxygen Cylinder- A Potential Explosion Hazard
In an open area outside a mechanical workshop, a welder was cutting some steel plates with an oxyacetylene
gas cutter. The oxygen cylinder was about to get empty so, he decided to replace it with a filled
one. He unscrewed the regulator from the empty cylinder and installed it on the new full cylinder.
When he opened up the cylinder valve, he noticed a leak at the union connection between the cylinder and
the regulator. He therefore turned off the cylinder valve, unscrewed the union and examined the gasket.
He found that there were two gaskets instead of one, which ought to be the case. So, he removed one of
the gaskets. He then screwed up the union again and turned on the cylinder valve.
The moment he turned on the cylinder, there was an explosion in the regulator followed by fire. A jet of
flame emerged from the back of the regulator and continued until the cylinder valve was shut off. A large
portion of the regulator melted and burned during the incident.
There was no injury to anyone. The welder remained alert to save himself.
Surveillance Findings
1. An examination of the regulator revealed that there was some grease in the ball bearing in the
front housing.
2. The explosion actually occurred in the rear high-pressure section and the grease was found in the
front housing of the regulator.
3. It is concluded from both the above findings that:
· An inexperienced person had overhauled the regulator.
· There had been, in all probability, grease in the rear section too.
· Grease or oil in the smallest quantity is sufficient enough for oxygen to have caused an
explosion.
Question:
1. What are your recommendations for prevention from these kinds of incidents?
Case let 2
Explosion in a Chemical Raw Material Store
A continued process chemical plant, manufacturing anion and cation exchange resins, used hazardous
chemicals as their raw material. The process intermediates were also hazardous but the final products
were not. The plant had a separate raw material store, which was maintained as per laid sown standards,
and a ring main fire hydrant system. However the inventories were more than the necessary consumption
because of shortage of material as and when required.

IIBM Institute of Business Management
One day in the afternoon at about 2:00pm, a loud sound was heard and the workers observed dense white
smoke coming out if the ventilators of the raw material store. The smoke disappeared in five minutes.
Findings
1. The storeroom was immediately opened to inspect what had gone wrong.
2. A cardboard drum, contained Benzoil Peroxide (BPO) had exploded and spread all over the store.
3. The area was immediately cleaned and the drum was cut open, thoroughly cleaned, rendered to
pieces and disposed of safely.
4. No one was reported injured because the place is isolated.
Question:
1. Prepare an investigation report on the basis of above case and suggest some points for prevention.
