1 Tutorial 1: Union Carbide (India) Ltd. Roshanak Moradi Munira Jessa SY DE 142 – May 10, 2004 Introduction to Human Systems Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

2 Union Carbide (India) Ltd. A synopsis from INVITING DISASTER: LESSONS FROM THE EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY, by J. R. CHILES “Union Carbide (India) Ltd. Plant: Release of Highly toxic chemicals into Community Bhopal, Mahdya Pradesh, India December 3 rd, 1984”

3 “According to Indian government, factory producing highly toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) for herbicides was poorly maintained, particularly safety equipment. Storage tank vented tons of MIC after water from pipe-washing job accidentally got into tank, causing violent reaction that remaining safeties could not handle. Union Carbide claims worker sabotage put water into tank; third theory says workers mistakenly put water into tank to “cool it off”. Deaths: officially estimated 7,000.” from Inviting Disaster, p.306
