INTEGRATED RISK ASSESSMENT OF A PLANT HANDLING HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS

摘要

In this paper, safety, health and environmental risks of a typical installation handling anhydrous hydrogen chloride were assessed in an integrated approach. A four-step procedure was used as risk assessment framework for this integrated risk assessment. The safety risk was presented as individual risk while Hazard Quotients were calculated for health and environmental risks. Some advantages of such an integrated approach were identified through the exercise. Difficulties were also encountered and discussed for causes and possible solutions.
