Industrial Disasters

The following sample essay on “Industrial Disasters”: how industrial disasters affect natural disasters.

Introduction

A disaster can strike at any time without any warning, natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc are unavoidable. But the manmade disasters can be prevented and mitigated somehow. Industrial disasters are the worst of the kind because they cannot only ruin the reputation of the company but also many employees can lose their lives in the process. Some of these disasters can have a long-lasting impact on the general people and the workers.

History is full of such kinds of disasters as the Bhopal incident, the Chornobyl Nuclear Disaster, the BP oil spill, and many others. In this project, the company considered is the Aramco Company. Which are the leading oil company and one of the main sources of the economy for Saudi Arabia. Although Saudi Arabia has employed a team of efficient engineers and foreign expatriate workers to preside over the main functional units of the company, there are still chances of any mishap either during manufacturing or during the shipment of the oil.

So, the existing plan for the disaster response will be considered and analyzed. Besides that, some prominent incidents which have occurred in the company will be considered as a case study and in the end, a better disaster response and recovery process will be recommended in this project.

Problem

Owing to the recent incidents in the Aramco Company which have resulted in the death of many workers and also have damaged the infrastructure of the company, there is a need to discuss and analyze the existing disaster management strategy of the Aramco Company and how well they have learned from the past incidents.
