Incident Report Subject: Buncefield, Why did it Happen? Date of Email report: Thu 17/02/2011 Report Detail: The Major Incident Investigation Board (MIIB) set up to investigate the incident completed its work in 2008 and published its Final Report. At that time it was not possible to disclose all the information about the underlying causes on which many of its recommendations were based because criminal legal proceedings were still in progress. Now these proceedings have concluded, this information can be brought together so that everyone in major hazard industries – not just those involved in fuel storage – can learn from the incident, understand what went wrong, and act upon lessons that are pertinent to them. Although five years have passed since the incident, the information and advice in this report is still highly relevant today. I commend it to the industry. Additional Documentation:
