background: this study provides a national profile of major work safety accidents in china, which cause more than 10 fatalities per accident, intended to provide scientific basis for prevention measures and strategies to reduce major work safety accidents and deaths. methods: data from 2003-2012 census of major work safety accidents were collected from state administration of work safety system...

An “atypical” accident scenario is a scenario deviating from normal expectations and, thus, not deemed credible by common processes of risk assessment. Past experience shows that non identified accident scenarios as such represent a latent risk for industry and society and sometimes their occurrence can lead to consequences of unexpected extent. An evident example of an atypical accident was th...

the adverse consequences of major accident events have led to development of accident analysis techniques to investigate thoroughly the accidents. however, each technique has its own advantages and shortcomings,which make it very difficult to find a single technique being capable of analyzing all types of accidents. therefore, the comparison of accident analysis techniques would help finding ou...

The presented study discusses the importance of GIS in assessing fire and explosion modelling involved major accident hazards. simulation toxic dispersions atmosphere is especially dangerous for densely inhabited areas, or close to sensitive environment, which are called target systems. Therefore, mathematical-physical predictions from hazard programs such as Areal Locations Hazardous Atmospher...
