Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to analyze the role of corrosion management in prevention of corrosion accidents related primarily to safety of personnel and the environment. Corrosion management is achieved by use of anti-corrosion control measures, corrosion monitoring, regular inspection, study of each accident, implementation of meetings, publications of minutes, education, and knowledge transfer. The reasons of inevitability of corrosion failures and ways for their decreasing are analyzed. The human factor is a key issue in corrosion management and reducing corrosion accidents. The reasons of humansʼ mistakes are the lack of awareness, education, knowledge, and training, incorrect design, insufficient control and supervision, lack of incentives to reduce corrosion risk, and wrong operation. Risk-based inspection is described as well.

No one should have to sacrifice their life for their livelihood, because a nation built on the dignity of work must provide safe working conditions for its people.

Thomas Edward Perez (1961-), an American politician.
