Description
Domino effects in which an initial primary hazardous event, such as a fire or explosion, triggers secondary and further hazardous events, such as a toxic release, that dramatically escalate the consequences should be addressed in PHA studies. Unfortunately, often they are not considered.
Domino effects make significant contributions to process risk as evidenced by numerous process safety incidents in which they have played a key role. The consequences of domino effects are amongst the greatest that can occur in process facilities. Often they involve multiple fatalities and entire facilities have been destroyed by them.
