Case Studies

Two case studies will be presented by a group of students each week.

The presentation should be max. 7 minutes (I will use a timer)

The presentation of the accident should address the following questions:

  1.  What is the chain of event and what are the causes for the incident? 
  2. Which barriers failed (technical, organizational?) Why did the accident not happen before?
  3. What is the origin for the released energy (the consequences)?
  4. What appropriate risk reducing measures (barriers) would be required to restart the production? How would they hinder the chain of event of the incident? What type (technical, organizational) of barriers are those?
  5. What are the potential problems linked with these measures?
