Accidents involving road tankers with flammable loads : TARU 1/84

An in-depth on-scene study of forty-two road tanker incidents with flammable loads was conducted in New South Wales over a period of fifteen months by teams each consisting of an Engineer and a Behavioural Scientist. The report describes notification arrangements, site attendance and investigation techniques used in the study. Results include a listing of all the factors encountered. These are generally classified as mechanical, environmental and behavioural factors. Special mention is made of the potential for improvements in tanker stability, tanker design and tanker maintenance. An Appendix includes all the case histories.

由工程师与行为科学家（Behavioural Scientist）组成的团队，于15个月内在新南威尔士州开展了一项针对42起装载易燃载荷（flammable loads）的道路油罐车事故的深入现场研究。报告详述了研究中采用的通知安排、现场响应及调查技术。研究结果涵盖所发现的全部影响因素清单，这些因素通常被划分为机械、环境及人为行为因素（behavioural factors）三大类。报告特别提及油罐车稳定性（tanker stability）、油罐车设计及油罐车维护方面的改进潜力。附录部分包含所有案例历史记录。
