Marrazzo R., Bragatto P., 2023, Repercussions on the Safety Management System of Inspection Activity After a Major Accident, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 104, 157-162.
The article is aimed at representing the inspection activity following a major accident occurred in Italy at an upper tier Seveso establishment. It highlights the repercussions on the safety management system and the related lessons learned for technical evaluation and control activities, starting from the consideration that apparently minor events, originated by problems of an electrostatic nature during relatively simple plant operations, could give rise to major accidents. In addition to the possible human cause linked to errors of operators, a series of elements concerning technical and organizational aspects are discussed.
