| Abstract |
This evaluation method is designed for hazards in industrial plants where the risk of accidents is relevant both during the construction and the operating phase. As regards the first phase, the research identifies the potential risk level or category, based on the properties and quantities of substances, the operating conditions and the type of process; the second phase deals with the reduction of the risk category taking into consideration the safety system and prevention measures installed in the plant. In particular, the various risk indexes related to fire, combined explosion, explosion in air and toxic risk are determined. In the risk index reduction phase, or "compensation" phase, the method leads to the calculation of several value coefficients to be used as multipliers, taking into account the safety and prevention systems that reduce the number and potential consequences of accidents. Detailed tables provide the index numbers connected with various substances and substance classes, in some cases in function of the type of exposure, flammability, etc. |
