Abstract

Today, the use of risk assessment methods in various industries is expanding so that there are currently more than 70 types of different risk assessment methods in the world. These methods are usually used to identify, control and reduce the consequences of risks. The main methods of risk assessment are appropriate methods for risk assessment and their results can be used for management and decision-making to control and reduce its consequences. The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the risks to safety, health and the environment and to provide proposed and corrective solutions to reduce or eliminate HSE risks using the HAZID method. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed for 4 months to identify the risks. For this purpose, a list of possible safety, health and environmental risks was prepared and the risk was evaluated by HAZID technique. In total, 5.15% of the identified risks are unacceptable, 20.62% are undesirable, 50.51% are acceptable, but 23.72% of the need for revision is minor. The results of this research include the implementation of measures such as safety training - professional training - inspection monitoring system - personnel safety management - preventive maintenance system management and forming a safety audit team - establishing regular House  Keeping  programs, etc. in identifying and Controls identified risks.
