Saftey hazards in cargo handling operations in petroleum
terminals
Introduction
Objectives:
1. Describe the Hierarchy of controls as it
relates to the control of Hazards towards
safety.
2. Identify the risk in Petroleum handling
Terminals.
3. Lesson learnt from the case studies on
unsafe acts.
4. Explain the employee responsibilities
regarding personal protective equipment.
Safety in Petroleum Industry …
•Refineries and Petrochemical plants are highly
energy- intensive
•Handle highly inflammable and toxic liquids and
gases. Sheer volume of fluids handled is huge
•Hence, most hazardous and prone to accidents
•Emergencies range from simple on-site to major
off- site cases, resulting in injuries, loss of human
lives and property
How are these risks managed?
•Design stage - Proper selection of processes,
Incorporating safety features in design of equipment
and systems, Spelling out safe operating &
maintenance procedures
•Fabrication stage – Proper quality control procedures
during fabrication, Inspection
•Operation stage – Regular inspection of safety systems,
no violation of safety procedures, strict implementation
of work permit rules, looking for tell- tale signs to
prevent accidents
How are these risks managed?
•Processes – Though the reaction conditions can be
hazardous, safeguards are built-in, to prevent
run-away conditions, toxic gas releases in to
atmosphere
•Equipment – Type of equipment to contain the hazard,
corrosion allowance, safe material of construction
(including cladding, lining), Fixing minimum
distances, Relief systems like safety valves, Rupture
discs
How are these risks managed?
•Systems – consisting of piping,
instruments, electrical components
All safety interlocks are provided to
ensure safe running of the unit and safe
shut-down. The most common of these
are – cutting off the heat source ( heater
fuel, steam ) under abnormal conditions,
cutting off supply of a reactant like
Hydrogen, air / Oxygen, de pressuring
the system to Flare
Accident statistics …
• Despite such meticulous efforts, accidents in
petroleum industry continue to occur with
alarming regularity
• Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) has
compiled and analysed all accidents that occurred
in Petroleum handling companies and refineries.
• As per their report,
-60% are caused by Human failure
-18% by Equipment failure
-6% by Electrical-related incidents
●In 2011-12 also, more than 60% caused by
human failure
Causes for Accident by Human
●Under Human Failure,
-61% caused by non-compliance to laid-
down safety procedures
-14% due to fall / slippages
-6% due to lack of supervision
-6% due to improper inspection
-6% due to lack of training
