| Summary: | 碩士 === 長榮大學 === 職業安全與衛生學系碩士班 === 105 === Recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices are called RAGAGEPs. They are also called good engineering practices, GEPs. GEPs consist of proven and accepted engineering methods, procedures, and practices that provide appropriate, cost-effective, and well-documented solutions to meet user-requirements and compliance with applicable regulations. GEPs are considered the most cost effective ways of daily operation in petrochemical industry.
This study of Kaohsiung Gas Explosion in 2014 is from the perspective of GEPs. The entire incident involved parties were all in violation of almost every single GEPs guidelines we could possibly find from cooperate safety culture to organizational structure, personnel qualifications, maintenance and emergency response. Not to mention contractors’ and labor inspectors’ qualification.
Taiwan petrochemical industry is now faces very strict both internal and external competition. There won’t be any future if safety management is not on full gear. The best way for Taiwan is to follow existing GEPs since Taiwan does not have the resources, techniques and experience to build its own guidelines for the industry and has no way to keep updating its guidelines.
