Description of the management of a major hazard event in a high priority installation

Abstract

Industrial accidents and accidents caused by natural disasters in factories, plants and power stations are the most dangerous and pose the greatest risk. As a result of social and economic development, more and more energy carriers, raw materials, semi-finished and finished products are produced and marketed, which may pose a risk to the environment and the public. In the course of our work, we have studied a facility or plant that is a high priority, including one where ammonia is present as part of the technology in quantities of over 1000 kg. We examined the different types of accidental events that can occur in this type of plant and the need and importance of the measures taken to deal with these events and their purpose. Our aim is to identify weaknesses, propose solutions and develop alternatives for improvement. To ensure the highest standards of safety and protection of workers at work and to emphasise the shared responsibility of senior management and all workers to achieve and maintain an effective safety management system.  Through our work, we want to contribute to the improvement, development and safer management of activities in an operational high priority plant.
