For years professionals involved in the investigation of industrial accidents have identified “human error” as a common cause of a high number of major events related to process safety. However, incorrect actions performed by workers that lead or contribute to disaster, before or during an event, are associated with factors related to cultural, engineering, situational, psychological, procedural and organizational aspects, just to name a few, and these tend to remain in the background.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
As high hazard facilities, biofuels sites should focus on developing a fire protections strategy informed by performance-based analysis so strategies implemented meet the unique challenges found at each facility.
