Study of major accidents and lessons learned

Government and private sector safety‐related databases and other published safety resources were studied to determine their relevance and to identify the major lessons learned from each product. Information sources studied include the National Response Center (NRC), the Accidental Release Information Program (ARIP), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), Major Accident Reporting System (MARS), the Marsh & McLennan Annual Reviews (Marsh), and Safety and Loss Prevention Symposia (LPS). This paper appropriately references these sources of information to facilitate similar studies.
