The screening level risk assessment: a cost-effective tool to risk and hazard identification fro the chemical handling systems of a pulp and paper mill - a case history

摘要

The pulp and paper industry handles substantial volumes of chemicals which present inherent hazards to the environment,the safety of mill employees and hte general public.The identification of potential hazadous incidents and subsequent action plans to eliminate,prevent or mitigate these potential incident is an essential component of any mill's process safety management (PSM) plan.A number of technques are currently in use for identifying opotential hazardous event scenarios (eg.hazard and Operability Studies (HAZOPs),What-If and Checklists).However,these techniques either suffer from being too cursory and superficial or being too detailed and time-consuming for mills to implement consistently and effectively.
