This paper makes an analysis of all reported accidents and incidents in the Greek Petrochemical Industry for the period spanning from 1997 to 2003. The work performed is related to the analysis of important parameters of the incidents, their inclusion in a database adequately designed for the purposes of this analysis and an importance assessment of this reporting scheme. Indeed, various stakeholders have highlighted the importance of a reporting system for industrial accidents and incidents. The European Union has established for this purpose the Major Accident Reporting System (MARS) for the reporting of major accidents in the Member States. However, major accidents are not the only measure that can characterize the safety status of an establishment; neither are the former the only events from which important lessons can be learned. Near misses, industrial incidents without major consequences, as well as occupational accidents could equally supply with important findings the interested analyst, while statistical analysis of these incidents could give significant insight in the understanding and the prevention of similar incidents or major accidents in the future. This analysis could be more significant, if each industrial sector was separately analyzed, as the authors do for the petrochemical sector in the present article.
本文分析了1997年至2003年期间希腊石化行业所有已报告的事故和事件。所开展的工作涉及对这些事件的重要参数进行分析，将其纳入为该分析目的而精心设计的数据库，并对该报告方案进行重要性评估。事实上，各利益相关方都强调了工业事故和事件报告系统的重要性。欧盟为此设立了重大事故报告系统（MARS），用于成员国重大事故的报告。然而，重大事故并非衡量一个企业安全状况的唯一标准；重大事故也不是唯一能从中吸取重要教训的事件。未遂事故、无重大后果的工业事件以及职业事故同样能为感兴趣的分析人员提供重要发现，而对这些事件进行统计分析能在理解和预防未来类似事件或重大事故方面提供重要见解。如果像本文作者对石化行业那样对每个工业部门进行单独分析，这种分析可能会更有意义。
