Title Introduction to technological risk analysis in chemical processes
Original title Introduction à l'analyse du risque technologique dans les procédés chimiques [in French]
Bibliographic information 2nd Quarter 1988, No.131, Note No.1675-131-88, p.265-276. Illus. 12 ref.
Abstract This document is designed to assist managers of small and medium size enterprises in examining the main aspects of safe plant operation through increased control over the chemical reactions they use. It also suggests some methods for solving certain of the problems mentioned. The contents include why, when, how and by whom a risk analysis should be undertaken: collection of basic data (substances, chemical reactions, plant), definition of safe conditions for normal process operation, systematic search for danger factors (substances, processes, plant, human and external factors), hazard classification and risk assessment, selection of preventive measures (technical measures, organisation, training, safety instructions and procedures). An appendix describes a real case of risk analysis in industry by various methods.
