TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Domino effect in process-industry accidents - An inventory of past events and identification of some patterns JO - Journal of loss prevention in the process industries A1 - Abdolhamidzadeh, Bahman A1 - Abbasi, Tasneem A1 - Rashtchian, D. A1 - Abbasi, Sakineh A. SP - 575 EP - 593 VL - 24 IS - 5 N2 - The paper presents an inventory, perhaps the most comprehensive till date, of the major process-industry accidents involving 'domino effect'. The inventory includes, among other relevant information, the sequence of accidents that had occurred in each domino episode. The information has been analyzed to identify several patterns which may be useful in further work on understanding domino effect and reducing the probability of its occurrence in future. A concept of 'local domino effect' has been introduced.
