| Abstract |
Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis was applied to the use of anhydrous ammonia (NH3) by farmers. The analysis evaluated the storage, transfer and application of NH3, and the identification of hazard scenarios, practical solutions and research needs. As a result of the analysis, 95 findings (i.e. recommendations) were developed for improvements in training and maintenance practices, equipment design, and the maintaining of material compatibility. Examples of these "findings" are given, as well as strategies for their dissemination to the agricultural community. |
