Modeling and evaluation of causal factors in emergency responses to fire accidents involving oil storage system

Abstract According to the statistics of 160 typical fire and explosion accidents in oil storage areas at home and abroad nearly 50 years, 122 of them occurred the secondary accidents in the emergency responses. Based on 122 accident cases, 21 causal factors leading to secondary accidents are summari...
