Despite the fact that the information about past accidents is an integral part of accident prevention, the information about industrial accidents is not commonly available in food and agricultural sectors. Spray dryer plants for dairy products are not an exception. The aim of this paper is the creation of the representative database for industrial spray drying accidents in order to identify their major causes. The paper is divided into 8 chapters. The first two chapters deal with the general information about technology of spray drying of dairy products. The third chapter provides the outputs from the authors' database containing records of 25 accidents in milk drying facilities in Europe. These accidents took place between 1999 and 2019 in six European countries. Based on the accident database, the most common causes of accidents were identified. Processes that can cause a fire, an explosion, or damage to environment are described in the fourth, fifth and sixth chapter. The seventh chapter deals with process, technical and organizational measures; these were discussed using literature research and the results of the accident database. The eighth chapter is the conclusion with a focus on further improvement of process safety through newly developed protective tools.

尽管有关过去事故的信息是预防事故不可或缺的一部分，但有关工业事故的信息在粮食和农业领域并不常见。乳制品的喷雾干燥机也不例外。本文的目的是建立工业喷雾干燥事故的代表性数据库，以查明其主要原因。本文分为8章。前两章介绍了乳制品喷雾干燥技术的一般信息。第三章提供了作者数据库的输出，其中包含欧洲25个牛奶干燥设施事故的记录。这些事故发生在1999年至2019年之间的六个欧洲国家中。根据事故数据库，确定了最常见的事故原因。第四，第五和第六章介绍了可能引起火灾，爆炸或对环境的破坏的过程。第七章讨论过程，技术和组织措施。使用文献研究和事故数据库的结果对这些问题进行了讨论。第八章是结论，重点是通过新开发的防护工具进一步提高过程安全性。
