A chain of events led to the devastating chemical accident at the Union Carbide chemical facility in Bhopal, India, on Dec. 3, 1984. Some of it was management's fault such as dismantling refrigeration systems and scrubbers, and some blame was on workers who ignored safety procedures or did not protest lack of maintenance of critical valves and gages.

How does your company maintain its valves and monitoring equipment to avert an accident of this enormity?
