Which is safer-staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or
working in the office? Surprisingly, each of these carries the same risk, which
is very low. However, what about flying compared to working in the chemical
industry? Unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! In
fact, the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of
almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home.
The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they
often cause death to those living nearby. It is this which makes chemical
accidents so newsworthy. Fortunately, they are extremely rare. The most famous
ones happened at Texas City (1947),Flixborough (1974), Seveso (1976), Pemex
(1984) and Bhopal (1984).
Some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of
life was small. No one died at Seveso, and only 28 workers at Flixborough. The
worst accident of all was Bhopal, where up to 3,000 were killed. The Texas City
explosion of fertilizer killed 552. The Pemex fire at a storage plant for
natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives, just a month before
the unfortunate event at Bhopal.
Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to
illustrate a particular danger. Thus the Texas City explosion was caused by tons
of ammonium nitrate(硝酸铵),which is safe unless stored in great quantity. The
Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep
production going during essential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what
happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep.
When the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local leaders were incapable of
taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in
an overcrowded suburb. The fire set off a chain reaction os exploding storage
tanks. Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. Had these
caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have
died.
