Nightmare Pipeline Failures: Fantasy Planning, Black Swans, and Integrity Management
No Customer Reviews
Nightmare Pipeline Failures Preventing rare events with catastrophic consequences is difficult. In the oil and gas industry (and other industries where organisations operate complex, hazardous technology), incidents arise for a number of reasons, including: failure to recognise and act on warning signs, poor planning and cost-cutting, inappropriate maintenance, failure to learn from past incidents and accidents, poor management decision-making, inconsistent policies and procedures, and, lack of effective regulatory oversight. Analysing and understanding the human and organisational causes of such incidents is, therefore, critical to future incident prevention. In their latest book, Associate Professor Jan Hayes and Emeritus Professor Andrew Hopkins explore the causes of the California and Michigan (US) pipeline ruptures, providing their insights into how such catastrophic incidents can occur, and how they might be prevented. In addition, they discuss the failure of pipeline regulation in the US and the need for regulatory reform. Book jacket.
