Events and Casual Factors Chart Project
Read the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) investigation report of the 2007 propane explosion at the Little General Store in Ghent, WV.
The final report can be read/downloaded at the following link:
https://www.csb.gov/assets/1/20/csbfinalreportlittlegeneral.pdf?13741
Additional information on the incident, including a video summary, can be found at the following link:
https://www.csb.gov/little-general-store-propane-explosion/
Complete the assignment as detailed below.
I: From the information in the report, create a chart listing events and causal factors for the incident in Microsoft Word, Open Office, or a similar word processing software. If you choose to use a program other than Microsoft Word, be sure to save and submit the document as a Microsoft Word document (i.e., .doc, .docx).
Use the charting procedures on pages 72–76 of your textbook to help you with this assignment.
Part II: On a separate page, discuss the potential causal factors that are revealed in the analysis. How do these causal factors compare to the causal factors found in the CSB’s investigation report? Do you think more analysis is needed?
