Fossil fuel industry belongs to one of the fundamental industries, which is especially intense in capital and technology. This industry contributes tremendously to a nation's economy. However, flammable, explosive and toxic substances are produced during the process of manufacturing and storing fossil fuel related goods. Should accident happen, it will cause severe economic damage and environmental pollution which the society have to pay the overwhelming cost to solve it.
To prevent industrial accidents, we need complete facilities and a standard procedure to follow. Every corporation should establish a detailed system and a strong industrial security awareness to decrease accidents in fossil fuel industry significantly and also, to ensure the sustainability of the corporation.
This thesis adapted the use of case study method, taking F Cor. as an example, and analyzed the reasons that these accidents occurred. And the fundamental reasons are the lack of industrial security idea, the insufficiency of manufacture risk management, and last but not the least, the inability of learning from former mistakes. By discovering these problems, we should first take the consideration of two major management methods which are respectively the Process Safety Management (PSM) from OSHA【1.Occupational Safety and Health Standards(OSHA) 29 CFR 1910.-API】(USA) and the occupational safety and health management system from Taiwan. These two management approaches could be considered aiding the corporation to establish its own PSM system【2.API RP 750 Management of Process Hazard(1990 edition)。3.API RP 754(2015 edition】, PSM coordinators and a PSM standard to activate relevant efforts; hence the corporation can take up its responsibility and maintain its security. In order to assist corporation to ensure their security regarding equipment and outsourcing, this thesis especially studies Mechanical Integrity Management and Contractor Management among all 14 elements in the PSM. By establishing complete facilities and regulating contractor agreement, hoping that this thesis could be basic assistance of preventing industrial accidents.
