This case study was published in January 2011. If you have not read it yet - here is the link to the website of the Chemical Safety Board.

Even if you are not working in this specific environment, the analysis of what went wrong and what was overlooked may result in you reviewing your own emergency procedures, for example.

It is a sad fact that many take for granted that nothing will happen, because nothing has happened before or that it is enough to have policies and procedures are in place. If we do not review those procedures and actively use them every single day, they are not worth the paper they are written on.
