Abstract

According to Seveso Directive the analysis of accident and near miss has be performed in order to identify which elements of the safety management system (SMS) should be reviewed. In this paper, a real accident in a chemical depot has been analyzed to investigate which aspects of safety management system should be improved. Both occupational safety and health (OSH) aspect and major accident hazards (MAH) about the accident have been considered by using two specific methods: the Infor.Mo. and the Root Cause Analysis. A comparison between the results obtained by application of two methods has been made to individuate useful information about occupational and major accident aspects and to harmonize them in a SMS.
