A domino effect is a chain of accidents in which an accident in a unit propagates into nearby units, triggering secondary accidents and so on. Some examples are LPG explosions in Mexico in 1984, Buncefield fires and explosions in UK in 2005, and recently, the Caribbean Petroleum Refining tank explosions and fires in Puerto Rico in 2009. Due to their high impact low probability nature, domino effects have started to be recognized not only by risk and safety practitioners but also in technical standards and legislation concerned with the control of major accident hazards.

Abstract
A domino effect is a chain of accidents in which an accident in a unit propagates into nearby units, triggering secondary accidents and so on. Some examples are LPG explosions in Mexico in 1984, Buncefield fires and explosions in UK in 2005, and recently, the Caribbean Petroleum Refining tank explosions and fires in Puerto Rico in 2009. Due to their high impact low probability nature, domino effects have started to be recognized not only by risk and safety practitioners but also in technical standards and legislation concerned with the control of major accident hazards.File in questo prodotto:
