• Abstract:
  The Oak Ridge National Laboratory, through its support to the U.S. Department of Energys (DOEs) Office of Facility Safety Analysis, EH-32, retrieves reports and information pertaining to transportation and packaging occurrences from the centralized Occurrence Reporting and Processing System (ORPS) database. These selected reports are analyzed for trends, impact on packaging and transportation operations and safety concerns, and lessons learned in ; transportation and packaging safety. Some selected reports are reviewed to evaluate the corrective actions being conducted. ; This report contains an analysis of 230 occurrences selected during fiscal year (FY) 1995, with supporting data from calendar year (CY) 1991 through 1995 which provide the basis for trending. ; The overall number of packaging- and transportation-related occurrences remains a small, steady percentage (~3%) of the total occurrences in the DOE system. There does not appear to be a ; correlation between the total number of offsite hazardous materials shipments and the number of reported occurrences. The offsite occurrences, while few in number, are consistent for the major ; shippers and contractors.
