Business also felt that the new policy weakened its own long-established pattern of voluntary safety efforts. Incoal miners were killed at Monongah, W. Evaluation of the effects of major accidents in industrial installations covers the following topics: general introduction, source term, fire accidents, vapor cloud explosions, BLEVEs and vessel explosions, atmospheric dispersion of toxic or flammable clouds, vulnerability, and quantitative risk analysis.
