Hazard Identification And Risk Management

Risk involves occurrence or potential occurrence of some accidents due to an event or sequence of
events.

The risk assessment study covers the following:

• Identification of potential hazard areas
• Identification of representative failure cases
• Visualization of the resulting scenarios in terms of fire (thermal radiation) and explosion
• Assess the overall damage potential of the identified hazardous events and the impact zones from the accidental scenarios
• Assess the overall suitability of the site from hazard minimization and disaster

Mitigation point of view:

• Furnish specific recommendations on the minimization of the worst accident possibilities
• Preparation of On-site and Off-site Emergency Plan, which includes occupational and health safety plan

There is always possibility of occurrence of incidents in an industry which requires proper risk assessment and proper safety preparedness. Activities requiring assessment of risk due to occurrence of most probable instances of hazard and accident are both onsite and off-site.
