The proposed siting of new chemical Hazardous Installations, modifications to existing Hazardous Installations, and proposals for development within the vicinity of these installations, are assessed by the Hazardous Installations Directorate (HID) of the Health & Safety Executive. Numerical risk assessment methodology is utilised to enable advice to be given to Local Planning Authorities. The u...

safety distance has already been a main measurement for the hazard control of chemical installations interpreted to mean providing space between the hazardous installation and different types of targets. but, the problem is how to determine the enough space. this study considers the application of quantitative risk assessment to evaluating a compressed natural gas station site and to identify n...

This chapter draws principles to facilitate the implementation of programmes and policies ensure that potentially affected public is well informed about existing or planned hazardous installations opportunities for provide input, as appropriate, into decision making by authorities concerning such installations.

This document provides a guide to research that has been conducted on the misconceptions that designers of hazardous installations sometimes have about operators and the operating environment, and the misconceptions that operating and maintenance staff have about designers, the design process or design intentions. These misconceptions are central to many accidents and incidents, and it seems po...

BACKGROUND Waste treatment plants release toxic emissions into the environment which affect neighboring towns. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether there might be excess cancer mortality in towns situated in the vicinity of Spanish-based incinerators and installations for the recovery or disposal of hazardous waste, according to the different categories of industrial activity. METHODS An ecolo...

Land-use planning, as concerns the prevention and limitation of the consequences of possible major accidents from industrial installations, is an essential mechanism for dealing with actual or potential conflicts between sources of risk, such as potentially hazardous industrial developments, and surrounding land-uses. The objective of this paper is to present a decision making methodology that ...

The main topic of this paper is to analyse the approach fault – finding, tests and maintenance regarding on what shall not be done in an installation hazardous area from point view explosion protection safety. For a it usual investigated by following logical routine. This one possible ways proceeding developed good engineering practice experience general terms. test equipment for use will eithe...

Robotics can play a key role when dealing with environments that are inaccessible or hazardous for humans including ship hulls, bridge installations, oil rigs, and first reponse scenarios. Due to irregular terrain, wheeled vehicles are ineffective at traversing the necessary terrain. Legged systems are a salient solution. However, legged systems require special considerations regarding workspac...
