摘要: |
The U.S. Coast Guard's Office of Investigations and Analysis has been reviewing the casualty data for oil spills of 10 gallons or more when the spills originated from a towing vessel of a barge for the period 1994-2000. The article discusses the reasons for the spills as well as presumed human factors/errors in these. 37% of the cases investigated were determined to be results of overflows, overfills, or transfers; they all involved a human or organizational factor. The article provides some examples of reasons for oil spills that include: failure to fully close or open valves; excessive transfer rates; improper crew relief; or failure in training/labeling. The article concludes that addressing human and organizational factors (HOF) might have prevented more than 30% of the examined and documented spills. |
