History has taught us that quite disastrous events with much human loss, injuries and asset damage could have been prevented or at least mitigated, if top management had recognized early warning signals in some form as urgent and had decided to take timely preventative measures. It turns out to be a rather common phenomenon in various sectors of life and some process industry examples are presented. The problem is further analyzed from a leadership point of view, from organizational structure and culture aspect, and what modern technology developments can help to improve the situation. Research in the latter directions is encouraged.

Trevor kletz & sam mannan 嘉宾对过程安全预警信号的看法，但管理层没有采取充分行动或根本没有采取行动：简要分析和可能改进的方向。

历史告诉我们，如果高层管理人员认识到某种形式的预警信号是紧急的，并决定及时采取预防措施，那么造成大量人员伤亡和财产损失的灾难性事件本可以避免或至少减轻。事实证明，这是生活各个领域中相当普遍的现象，并介绍了一些过程工业示例。从领导的角度，从组织结构和文化方面进一步分析问题，以及现代技术发展可以帮助改善这种情况。鼓励在后一个方向进行研究。
