- Abstract
Rule violation predictive of incidents at chemical companies: Both major disasters and smaller incidents at chemical companies impact the environment. Seveso regulations aim to limit the impact of the chemical industry on man and the environment. This leads to the expectation that violation of these rules is predictive of incidents. In the current study, incidents at chemical companies are predicted from the company's history of rule violation, previously reported incidents and corporate characteristics. Analysis of three years of inspection data and of six years of reported incidents, shows that the company's branch and previous reported incidents predict the occurrence of an incident. The company's history of rule violation, however, does not. Future research is needed to examine the different possible explanations for these contra intuitive results.
