Book excerpt: World-renowned safety culture expert Professor Andrew Hopkins discusses the causes of a major explosion that occurred at the BP Texas City Refinery on 23 March 2005. The explosion killed 15 workers and injured more than 170 others.Failure to Learn also analyses the similarities between this even and the Longford gas plant explosion in Victoria in 1998, the latter of which is featured in his earlier book, Lessons from Longford.Hopkins poses questions such as: How can companies better design themselves to manage major hazards? Who was blamed for the explosion? What were the real causes? Why had the lessons not been learnt from earlier incidents at Longford and elsewhere?Hopkins received the 2008 European Process Safety Centre Award for extraordinary contribution to process safety, making this the first time the prize was awarded to someone who is based outside of Europe.Failure to Learn is insightfully written and is an essential reference for all OHS professionals.Other titles by Hopkins available through FutureMedia: Nightmare pipeline failures Disastrous Decisions Failure to Learn: BP Texas City Refinery Disaster Learning from High Reliability Organisations Lessons from Gretley: Mindful Leadership and the LawLessons from Longford: the Esso Gas Plant Explosion Safety, Culture and RiskFor more information on FutureMedia products and services, visit www.futuremedia.com.au or www.processsafety.com.au
