I.1.1&Purpose&
Rubber%Replication%Inc.%plans%to%build%a%new%triallyl%cyanurate%(TAC)%production%plant%near%
College%Station,%TX.%The%production%of%TAC%is%one%that%involves%extreme%care%considering%the%
formation%reaction%is%extremely%exothermic%and%involves%a%high%reaction%rate.%With%extremely%
exothermic%reactions%and%high%reaction%rates,%the%probability%for%risk%and%hazards%is%high.%With%
that%said,%Rubber%Replication%Inc.%finds%it%vital%to%have%a%strong%System%Safety%Program%Plan%
(SSPP)%in%place.%
I.1.2&Scope&
The% scope% of% this% document% will% include% the% planned% tasks% and% activities% to% be% used% by% a%
contractor% to% implement% a% system% safety% program% (SSP).% It% shall% include% the% organizational%
responsibilities,% resources,% methods% of% accomplishment,% milestones,% depth% of% effort,% and%
integration%with%other%program%engineering%and%management%activities%and%related%systems.%
[1]%
In% order% to% help% with% the% understanding% and% implementation% of% this% SSPP,% a% case% study% for%
another%TAC%production%plant%will%be%referenced.%This%plant,%owned%by%MFG%Chemical%Inc.,%had%
an% incident% on% April% 12,% 2004% that% was% investigated% by% the% CSB.% This% investigation% provided% a%
stepping% stone% in% the% creation% of% this% SSPP% by% highlighting% issues% in% the% safe% design% and%
operation%of%a%TAC%production%facility.%
Background% information% regarding% TAC% Process% Chemistry% and% the% MFG% Chemical% case% study%
can%be%found%below%and%is%included%for%the%completeness%of%this%report.%
I.1.2.1&TAC&Process&Chemistry&
Triallyl% cyanurate,% TAC,% is% produced% in% a% reaction% between% allyl% alcohol% and% cyanuric% chloride.%
This%reaction%produces%both%TAC%and%hydrochloride,%HCl.%This%reaction%can%include%the%use%of%a%
catalyst.%The%TAC%production%reaction%is%extremely%exothermic%(e.g.%produces%a%high%amount%of%
heat).%
Allyl%alcohol%is%extremely%flammable;%the%National%Fire%Protection%Agency%considers%it%a%Class%IB%
flammable%liquid.%It%is%also%highly%toxic%and%is%a%severe%inhalation,%skin%absorption,%and%ingestion%
hazard.% When% used% in% quantities% of% 10,000% pounds% or% more,% OSHA% considers% the% chemical% a%
Process% Safety% Management% regulated% flammable% liquid.% In% quantities% of% 15,000% pounds% or%
more,%the%EPA%considers%allyl%alcohol%a%Risk%Management%Plan%regulated%toxic%chemical.%
Cyanuric%chloride%is%a%highly%reactive%crystalline%powder.%It%is%also%a%strong%irritant%to%the%skin,%

I.1.2.2&MFG&Chemical&Case&Study&

incident%were%identified%and%analyzed.%The%top]level%decision%makers%of%the%company%did%not%
investigate%the%chemical%reactivity%of%the%reactants%and%did%not%anticipate%the%high%level%of%
exothermic%activity%involved%in%the%reaction%they%were%attempting%to%initiate.%This%led%to%
inadequate%information%exchange%with%those%directly%involved%in%the%manufacturing%process,%
including:%the%contractor%who%supplied%the%reactor%vessel%coolant%system,%the%employees%who%
operated%the%reactor,%the%employees%who%added%the%reactants%to%the%reactor%vessel,%and%the%
employees%who%made%the%initial%report%to%the%local%emergency%response%personnel.%
Since%the%reaction%was%not%listed%to%produce%a%varying%and%intense%amount%of%heat,%the%
contractor%who%installed%the%coolant%system%did%not%include%an%adjustment%mechanism%to%allow%
the%employees%to%control%the%level%of%coolant%entering%the%reactor%vessel.%Again%due%to%the%lack%
of%communication%from%top]level%company%officials,%the%employees%did%not%add%the%reactants%
slowly%to%control%the%rate%and%temperature%of%the%reaction,%and%instead%rapidly%added%the%entire%
