Prevent Them All or Stop Them Small: Tripod Best Practices in Reducing Chemical Accidents and Enhancing Response Preparedness

摘要

The connection between industry, government, and public safety, which we call the Tripod, is vital when implementing the 3-P’s - Prevention, Protection, and Preparation. As identified by AICHE’s Vision 2020 program, there are significant opportunities for organizations that address industrial process safety to work together. Responsible Collaboration between industry, regulatory and investigatory authorities, labor organizations, communities, and technical organizations promotes mutual understanding of risks, effects process safety and can reduce chemical accident risk in both small and large communities. Community based safety partnerships and leadership are fundamental to the success of such efforts.
