Root Cause- The Unfinished Story

  • f Bhopal, 1984?
  • Corporate negligence, (Leadership) such that corrective actions were

not taken to address earlier accidents.

  • There were also operational lapses, such as the failure to follow

safety and operational procedures and faulty, inadequate, or non-

  • perational process equipment.
  • Manpower was also cut due to economic reasons, a problem

exacerbated by the replacement of experienced staff with less-skilled employees.

  • In terms of responding to the accident and mitigating its impact, the

plant's safety systems, such as the flare tower and the water curtain, were either not operational or did not have sufficient capacity.

  • Emergency response planning and public health infrastructure in the

vicinity of the densely populated Bhopal area were also lacking, which could have otherwise minimized the number of people in the community affected by the disaster. All pointed towards failure of Leadership and driving health & safety management system.

Leadership Styles & Its Impact in Safety Culture & Behaviour!

  • According to (walker 2010), 80 to 90% of

accidents are due to unsafe acts committed by group or individuals.

  • Significant reduction in accident rates can
  • nly be achieved by creating a safety

culture which leads to a change in the attitudes of both leaders and employees, improving their safety behaviour (Broadbent, 2004).

  • In day to day activities employees observe

their leaders behaving which influence them to behave or act and it is clear that leaders should be a role model in every aspect while managing health and safety (Hofmann and Morgeson, 2004).

released over the adjacent 3 months a government estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil.
