INDEX of CASE HISTORIES of ACCIDENTS IN THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY covering the period 1951 through 1973 (Case Histories No. 1 through 1988) Manufacturing Chemists Association 1825 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. Washington, D. C. 20009 CMA 046973 FOREWORD Since 1951, member companies of the Manufactur ing Chemists Association have voluntarily cooperated in the Association's safety program by submitting case histories ot accidents or near-accidents occurring in chemical plants tor inclusion in a monthly publication. These have been compiled in three volumes obtainable from the Publications Service at MCA offices, namely: (a) Volume One (1962) -- containing Case Histones Nos. 1-596; (b) Volume Two (1966) -- containing Case Histones Nos. 597-1097; (c) Volume Three (1970) -- containing Case Histories Nos. 10981623. Additionally, the MCA monthly publication. "Accident Case Histories", dated January 1970December 1973 contains Case Histories Nos. 16241988. Because of the voluntary nature of this safety activ ity no statistical inferences should be made as to the frequency of accidents involving a particular chemical or occupation. The index has been compiled and organised to assist readers searching for accident case histories involving specific chemicals, specific pieces of equipment, or specific occupations. To find a case history of a particular nature, look first under the group category most closely associated, e.g.. Chemical, Operation or Occupation, Equip ment. Explosion and Pressure Release, Fire, Static Electricity, Waste Disposal, Corrosion, or Protective Equipment. The same accident case history may appear under several categories. For example accident case history No. 660 appears under the "Chemical" category as 'acetaldehyde", under the "Operation or Occupation" category as "venting"; and under the "Explosion and Pressure Release" category as "acetaldehyde." Many accident case histories, particularly those involving occupations or equipment failure, are not easily identifiable and may appear under various list ings. For example, a particular case history may be listed under "pipe" or "line" or perhaps "valve" or "gasket," Similarly, a case history involving "hose failure" may appear under "loading", "unloading" or "transfer" etc. 2 CHEMICALS Acetaldehyde..................117. 586, 660, 911, 1764 Acetanilide.............................................................. 266 Acetic acid ............ 90. 305, 328. 765. 805. 920, 1000, 1011. 1305, 1525, 1609. 1664, 1865, 1912, 1985 Acetic anhydride................... 103, 463, 572, 1650, 1865. 1905 Acetic mix.............................................................. 277 Acetone......................136, 435, 1153, 1583, 1948 Acetone/Chloroform................ 1661 Acetone/Methanol................... ............................ 1933 Acetylene.......................................... 657, 744, 1849 Aeetylides..................................................... 479, 571 Acrylic acid...........................................................[759 Acrylamide............................................................ 1977 Acrlyonitrile....................... 234, 1214, 1452, 1897, Acrylonitrile 1906 Adipic acid ................................................. 44. 739 Alcohol................................................136, 152, 506 Alcohol, denatured............................................. 1205 Alkyd resin........................................................... 909 Allyl Alcohol....................................................... 150 Alum............................................................. 656, 877 Aluminum................................................ 849, 1312 Aluminum/caustic ....................................1115, 1888 Aluminum isoperoxide.........................................1171 Aluminum nitrate................................................. 1512 Americium ...........................................................1 (06 Aluminum paint..................................................... 104 Aluminum paste ......................................................72 Aluminum triethyl ................................................ 819 Aluminum zinc..................................................... 1722 Ammonia................... 57, 87, 125, 230, 231, 239, 279, 288, 297, 306, 366, 386, 394, 430, 466, 509, 518, 529, 536, 598, 685, 709, 763, 792, 806, 961, 933, 947, 951, 959, 978, 1021, 1610, 1114, 1219, 1247, 1447, 1691, 1695, 1757, 1846, 1965 Ammonium nitrate..............368, 873, 1325, 1454, 1483, 1495 Ammonium perchlorate..........800, 845, 881, 992, 1002, 1768 Amyl acetate.... ....................................................293 Aniline............... ....32, 113, 118, 140, 189, 602, Arsine................
