Evaluate how well the theoretical models enabled explanation of the accident phenomena in the case study.

Assessment Task

1. You will select two theoretical accident models from the following list:

· Heinrich’s Domino Theory

· Haddon Matrix

· Reason System of Safety Management Model

· Time Sequence Model

· Extended Energy Damage Model

2. Populate the models with the critical factors from a case study provided by the lecturer in Moodle to explain, in the language of the models, the failures which occurred in the accident. The case study being: TEXAS CITY REFINERY EXPLOSION

3.

4. Students will then prepare a written report to explain:

· The reasons why the particular models were chosen

· The key characteristics of the models

· The tapestry of failures which led to the case study accident, as evidenced by application of the chosen accident models

· The perceived strengths and weaknesses of the chosen models in describing the accident phenomenon

It should be supported by relevant citations (minimum of 10) from the literature.
