摘要：In the last 20 years, there has been a growing
interest in biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuels. However,
petroleum refining industry will continue playing a crucial role
as the main source of fuel in the world’s economy. Although
these kind of industries are very different in terms of
complexity in their processes, at both, accidents with numerous
deaths and injuries have been registered and human error plays
an important role in their occurrence. The objective of the
present article is to determine the incidence of human error in
the accidents occurring at petroleum refineries, and to compare
results to those obtained for biofuel plants. As complementary
information, the number and type of accidents and their
consequences will be determined for each type of industry, in
the period 1998-2018.
