AMPP: Association for Materials Protection and Performance’s Post

The CSB concluded that Loy-Lange did not employ sound safety management principles in addressing the risks associated with corrosion in its steam system. "Had Loy-Lange instituted elements of an effective safety management system, including mechanical integrity, incident investigation, and effective corrosion prevention programs, the hazard of corrosion could have been mitigated and this incident could have been prevented."

Finally, the fourth safety issue the CSB found at Loy-Lange was the lack of an effective Safety Management System. To prevent this incident, Loy-Lange needed to understand the hazards of its operation, implement and maintain safeguards to prevent corrosion in its steam system, and monitor those safeguards to ensure their proper function. The CSB found that Loy-Lange's management did not understand the hazards of its operation and did not see a leaking pressure vessel as a safety emergency. The company failed to prevent corrosion in the SCR, had no inspection program, never investigated or addressed the root cause of the corrosion in its steam system, and repeatedly operated the SCR while it was leaking, including on the morning of the explosion.

Corrosion Prevention methods

be safe and ensure to: - 1- wear your PPE 2- follow PSF (to install backflow protection when connecting utilities to process) 3- install hose safety wire / chain

In 2011, a fireworks storage facility near Honolulu exploded, killing five people. In response to the incident, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has been working to create new recommended practices to help prevent similar incidents — with Exponent Senior Managing Engineer Brian Ott, PhD, PE, CFEI, serving as chair of the Explosives Task Group and working to help develop these recommendations.
