Domino effect in process-industry accidents - An inventory of past events and identification of some patterns
, Article Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries ; Volume 24, Issue 5 , 2011 , Pages 575-593 ; 09504230 (ISSN) ; Abbasi, T ; Rashtchian, D ; Abbasi, S. A ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
The paper presents an inventory, perhaps the most comprehensive till date, of the major process-industry accidents involving 'domino effect'. The inventory includes, among other relevant information, the sequence of accidents that had occurred in each domino episode. The information has been analyzed to identify several patterns which may be useful in further work on understanding domino effect and reducing the probability of its occurrence in future. A concept of 'local domino effect' has been introduced

Abstract
A new methodology is presented with which the likely impact of accident in one process unit of an industry on other process units can be forecast and assessed. The methodology is based on Monte Carlo Simulation and overcomes the limitations of analytical methods, used hitherto, which were inherently limited in their ability to handle the uncertainty and the complexity associated with domino effect phenomena. The methodology has been validated and its applicability has been demonstrated with two case studies
