Hazards Identification and Risk Assessment And On-site and off-site Emergency Management Plans Dr Rakesh Dubey Director Disaster Management Institute Bhopal rakeshddubey@hotmail.com
Hazardous gases/liquids in Indian Industries • LPG , Propane (under pressure in liquid phase) • Ammonia (under pressure/refrigeration in liquid phase) • Chlorine (under pressure in liquid phase) • Hydrogen (under pressure in gases)
Causality chain Emission MODELLING or MONITORING Environmental distribution Exposure Effects
Point sources Diffuse sources Line sources Sources Source types:
Peak emissions Intermittent emissions Blockemissions Types of Emissions Continuous emissions
Spatial scales • Local scale • Area around one point source • Average environmental characteristics • “Reasonable worst case” scenario • Regional scale • Area of 200 x 200 km • 20 million inhabitants • 100 or 10% of production • Average environmentalcharacteristics
Key Points: RAIN! What can I do? • Recognize • Avoid • Isolate • Notify
Recognize • Unusual Activity / Behavior • Hazardous weather conditions • Things out of place • Unexplained liquids • Strange smells • Abnormal fogs or mists • Suspicious Packages ?
AvoidWhat Do I Stay Away From? Don’t become a victim Don’t rush in The 4 Don’ts Don’t TEST (Taste, Eat, Smell, Touch) Don’t assume anything
Isolate Keep others away from hazard area
Notify • Immediate Supervisor • Hospital Emergency Phone Number Remember RAIN! Recognize, Avoid, Isolate, Notify
RAIN! Example #1 • Recognize: Suspicious Package • Avoid: Do not touch object • Isolate: Contain the area & keep others away from hazard area • Notify: Call for help
RAIN! Example #2 • Recognize: Chemical Spill • Avoid: Do not touch, taste, or smell • Isolate: Contain the scene & keep others away from hazard area • Notify: Call for help
What to do? • How to do? • Is there any way exists?
Disaster Management Planning both on-site (Schedule 11) and off-site (Schedule 12) of MS&IHC Rules 1989 of EPA 1986 with following components: A. Risk Assessment & Management B. Emergency Preparedness C. Community Dialogue
Part one • Disaster Impact Assessment • Toxic release, heat fluxes, pressure waves
Risk Assessment & Management 1. evaluate range of potential incidents (without considering possible causes) 2. put mitigation in place for foreseeable ones 3. evaluate community consequences for range of incidents,
a) credibleworst case - largest tank or worst failure consequence - reasonable duration of release - passive mitigation in effect - credible worst weather b) worstimaginable case - largest tank or worst failure consequence - worst possible duration or release - no mitigation - worst possible weather
Reliability Risk Assessment • Risk Based Maintenance Planning • Risk estimation • Hazard identification • Quantitative Hazard Assessment • Probabilistic Hazard Assessment • Risk Quantification • Risk evaluation • Setting up risk acceptance criteria • Risk comparison • Maintenance planning
What may go wrong? What would be the impacts? Start How it may go wrong? How likely its occurrence? Hazard identification Probabilistic hazard assessment Quantitative hazard assessment Accident scenario development What maintenance schedule would reduce its likelihood of occurrence? Fault tree development Fault tree for the envisaged scenario Consequences analysis Fault tree analysis Apply maintenance measures and re-evaluate risk Risk estimation Suggest maintenance measures to control risk Whether risk is in acceptance? No Yes End
Storage Conditions • Atmospheric Storage • Pressure Storage • Fully Refrigerated Storage • Semi-Refrigerated Storage • Gas Under Pressure Which condition is leading to significant impacts
On-site Risk • Off-site Risk
Hazards identification : Materials, process, regulatory, • Consequence of hazards • Likely hood of consequences • Frequency of occurrence • Calculation of Risk • Decision for weighing alternatives
Part two • Preparedness, Planning, Response
By putting prevention techniques • Through planning • By response plans • Through mitigation • Education and awareness • Best practices
ALARP means ‘As Low As Reasonable Practicable’ ALARP demonstration means: To demonstrate that the project & associated systems and HSEMS will enable the facility to be operated & maintained safely such that residual risks to HSE are tolerable
Good practices • Technical approaches
