The deadliest industrial accident in human history occurred on Dec 3, 1983. A chemical release in Bhopal, India killed thousands. A lax safety culture contributed to the accident and to the extreme consequences of the accident.
It is generally accepted that safety culture is much different (much better) now. But categorizing and measuring culture is difficult, so it is hard to say how much different safety culture is today. Further culture varies with place, industry, company, plant, task, etc. Bhopal certainly had an impact, but so did other things. This webinar will tackle some challenging questions such as – ‘How is safety culture different today?’ and ‘What impact did Bhopal have?’ ‘Did it have more impact on design or on operations?’
