Q

Incident

A

The basic description of an events or series of events resulting in one or more undesirable consequence such as harm to people damage to the environment or assist or business laws in general it is caused by loss of containment or control of material or energy or chemical plants this includes fires or explosions and releases of toxic or harmful substances not all events propagate to an incident

Q

Individual risk

A

The risk to a person in the vicinity of a hazard. This includes the nature of the injury to the individual, the likelihood of the injury occurring, and the time period over which the injury might occur.

Q

Process safety

A

Disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes handling hazardous substances by applying good design principles, engineering and operating practices. It deals with the prevention and control of incidents that have the potential to release hazardous materials or energy. Such incidents can cause toxic affects, fires, or explosions, and could ultimately result in serious injuries, property damage, lost production, and environmental impact.

16
Q

Risk analysis

A

Quantitatively combining resist risk estimates for the variety of scenarios using engineering evaluation and mathematical techniques to arrive at an overall risk estimate

17
Q

Risk assessment

A

Applying the results of a risk analysis to make decisions

18
Q

Risk tolerance

A

The maximum willingness of a company, and society as a whole, to live with a risk to secure the resulting benefits.

19
Q

Safe guard

A

Design features equipments procedures and other resources in place to decrease the probability of initiating cars or mitigate the severity of a loss impact

20
Q

Safety culture

A

The common set of values, behaviors, and norms at all levels in a facility or in the water organization that affects processed safety

21
Q

Scenario

A

A detailed description of an unplanned event or incident sequence their result in a loss events and its associated impacts period the scope of the scenario is arbitrary period

22
Q

Societal risk

A

A measure of a risk to a group of people period it is most often expressed in terms of the frequency distribution of multiple casualty events

23
Q

Loss prevention

A

Defined as incidents that cause losses due to death, injury, damage to the environment, or even loss of production or inventory

24
Q

Hazards can arise

A

Due to materials energy physical situations equipment design and even Procedures it could also be present or intermittent

25
Q

Chemical plant incident

A

Is caused by the loss of containment of chemicals or control or material or energy

26
Q

What are the typical hazards that occur in chemical plants?

A

It includes chemicals that are toxic flammable or reactive high and low pressure and temperatures and due to process design, Maintenance, operations, control and many other factors

27
Q

Can you process information required for chemical plant hazard analysis or evaluation

A

One. Chemical related properties including hazardous properties, physical properties, and more.
2. What is conditions that include temperature pressure, flow rates, concentration, and other factors
3. Equipment designer Parameters: equipment capacity, operating limits for temperature and pressure, materials of construction, and pipe wall thickness,
4. Site and plans layout: including equipment spacing, control room location, and other considerations
5. Procedures and policies: including start up, operating, shut down, maintenance procedures, and others.
6. Location and nature of adjacent communities insensitive location such as schools

28
Q

The quality of any hazard analysis or evaluation is directly related to

A

The quality of information available to the analysis team.

29
Q

Risk is the function of what

A

Is a function of both likelihood and consequence, where likelihood considers either probability or frequency

30
Q

Examples of risk assessments

A

Decisions include what chemicals to use, the design of plans, material of construction, operating condition and so on
