Another unfortunate incident at Maharashtra, India on 29 June 2022. A series of fire and explosion occurred at a chemical factory in MIDC industrial area.
CNBCTV18 noted that even though the exact cause of the incident was still under investigation, rapid fire spread occurs due to large quantity of highly flammable chemical stored onsite. Fortunately it is told that there are no injury in the incident.
Minimizing chemical quantity stored on site is one of the Inherently Safer Principle highlighted in Process Safety Management. It is encouraged that factory :
1. Store “less raw material” just enough to run their operation
2. Store “less complete product” by more frequent shipping
These practices will reduce the severity and consequence during such incident.
We sincerely hope that such incident won`t occur again in the future.
