1. METHODOLOGY IMPLEMENTED
Risk analysis aims to assess qualitatively if a hazard or an operational problem may arise
when deviations from the normal process design occur. It permits to know in detail
measures taken to control risks (preventive and protective measures) expected by the
designer.

The principle of the method implemented is based on impact on health and safety studies,
similarly to HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Studies).

This method examines and determines all the undesirable events defined during the
functional blocs division. As each undesirable event or deviation is considered its potential
causes and consequences are assessed. Consequences are quantified with a gravity
impact on health and safety, associated with a level control.

Risk analysis document is divided into clearly sections that follow the P&IDs on a line-by-
line basis.
The tables achieved are formed with the following columns:

Undesirable events or deviations: they represent the different situations able to cause
some risks. Product risks, process risks and operating errors risks identification allow to
list them.
Causes: conditions, errors, breakdown or failures that are the cause of the undesirable
event.
Consequences: this column lists every consequence that the undesirable event can lead
to (actions implemented being considered ineffectual or insufficient).
Gravity (G): it is a matter of the gravity of the consequence without considering actions
implemented. The gravity impacts classification is mentioned hereinafter.
Actions: this column lists every preventive and protective measures in order to avoid or
reduce causes and/or limit consequences, thus reducing the gravity of the situation.
Control (C): it is a matter of the control of the event by considering actions implemented.
The control levels classification is mentioned hereinafter.

Gravity impact on health and safety (1) Minor effects


Body injuries: light
Environmental risk: none
Equipment deterioration: none

Gravity impact on health and safety (2) Significant effects


Body injuries: corporal injuries with temporary disablement
Environmental risk: limited to the plant
Equipment deterioration: unavailability of the plant limited to one day

Gravity impact on health and safety (3) Critical effects


Body injuries: significant corporal injuries for people inside the site
Environmental risk: minor pollution, limited on the site
Equipment deterioration: unavailability of the plant limited to two weeks

Gravity impact on health and safety (4) Disastrous effects


Body injuries: significant corporal injuries for people inside and outside the site
Environmental risk: major pollution
Equipment deterioration: unavailability of the plant (more than two weeks)
