Descripción
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the worst industrial disaster in world’s history in which almost four thousand people were killed and tens of thousands were seriously injured by a gas leak from a fertiliser plant. Neither the managers nor the toxicologists knew how poisonous the gas methyl isocynate was; and no one knew the antidote. Over the years there has been change in views and practices relating to handling of toxic substances in chemical industry. Research in inherently safe designs has accelerated. There have been advances in the field of Organisational theory and management of high reliability organisations. Evolution of CSR in the industry has been rapid though it seems more like greenwashing than a substantial change in business practices. (Asthana, A. N., 2014)
