Risk assessment and safety management at chemical facilities with the use of new information technologies

Abstract

This work proposes to use a qualitatively new type of automated system on the basis of up-to-date information technologies to enhance the safety of chemical facilities: Integrated computer-aided control systems (ICACS) combining into one structure information-modeling and control systems, program complexes. To ensure the environmental safety of chemical facilities, the creation of ICACS to test and control the quality of the free air over the territories in the immediate proximity to chemical facilities is proposed. To enhance the industrial safety of chemical facilities, an integrated computer-aided system of risk assessment and safety control has been developped. To exercise the analysis and risk assessment of various chemically dangerous facilities, logical-graphic and probabilistic models of risk assessment are proposed. © 2006 Springer.
