12 Aug Identify possible hazards in the chosen section of the plant and tabulate process parameters
Task 1:
Industrialization and related activities in the last few decades resulted in many issues with the use and handling of hydrocarbons and other components used in oil and gas process industry. Major accidents represent the ultimate, most catastrophic way in which a process industry project can go wrong. Accidents cause death, suffering & pollution of the environment and disruption of business. To minimize accidents it is highly important to assess and analyze various risk scenarios associated with the industry and projects. Choose any process industry and by using process flow diagram (PFD). Prepare a report on the following key aspects:
- Identify possible hazards in the chosen section of the plant and tabulate process parameters
- Objectives, methodologies and the procedural steps adopted in the Risk Assessment.
- List out minimum five failure scenarios and asses the risk by assuming suitable failure frequencies.
- Process Safety Management is designed to manage the integrity of operating systems and processes handling hazardous substances by applying good design principles, engineering, and operating practices. Justify the statement with suitable examples.

Task 2:
The elimination of hazards is the first order of safety. The control of physical condition is basic and frequently difficult in a process plant and it requires the best of scientific, engineering and management information for its accomplishment. The evaluation and control of mechanical and physical hazards encompass four engineering aspects: design, construction, operation and maintenance. Prepare a report on the following:
- Choose a suitable process industry and conduct a HAZOP and risk analysis study for a particular section of the industry or the total plant.
- List out the various factors and identify the issues taken into consideration about the discrepancies in the design, operation, control and maintenance of the plant.
- Discuss the protection methodologies presently adopted by the industry and deliberate its ability in meeting the safety norms and standards.
- Good leadership in industrial workplace promotes healthy and safe work practices to provide effective and efficient workplace environment to workers. Illustrate the good practices and the role of leadership in maintaining a healthy safety culture in a workplace.
