According to numerous industry studies, significant improvement has been made over the last 20 -30 years in occupational safety, but not so much in operational safety (process safety).  New process safety incidents continue to occur that bear a striking resemblance to previous incidents. This means we are not effectively learning from history

I found a new podcast series (“Causality”) that talks about famous incidents / accidents in the process industries and in real life. Causality - “Chain of Events. Cause and Effect. We analyse what went right and what went wrong as we discover that many outcomes can be predicted, planned for and even prevented.”

Episodes range in duration from 25 minutes to 50 minutes and really bring to life some of the most famous process safety incidents. Even if you are already familiar with the incidents, you will probably learn something new. Below are some links to a couple of episodes you might want to check out.
