What? Why? How?

Background-a nightmare in in Graniteville, South Carolina

Transportation Research Record 2009

Capacity to handle no-notice evacuation and hazardous materials accident are important!

Background1932 hazardous chemical accidents (MHIDAS 2000-2004)1. 39% are transportation accident (rails 55%, road

45%)2. Releases (78%), fires (28%), explosions (14%),

gas clouds (6%)3. 73.5% of accidents were caused by an impact or

collision between vehicles, derailment of trains or lorries crashing

Related work limitations1. Not able to comprehensively explain in some

situations with multiple factors Traditional accident causation system

2. Not consider human communication and manipulation

Agile Safety Management System

Overall, not detail oriented and specific task distribution
