Abstract

Industrial explosive storage sites are considered to be areas of major risk to industrial, public and occupational safety and security, due to the possibility of major accidents, due to the nature of the explosive substances and due to the serious consequences of an explosion.on these sites. The explosion risk assessment for explosives depots requires an analysis of all possible occurrences of the initiating events that could lead to a potential explosion, followed by an analysis of security measures, all of which are quantified by the development of accident trees and sequences. for each possible trigger. This paper presents the principles of designing a specialized computer application in the field of explosion risk management at explosives depots for civilian use. This application allows to ensure the necessary premises for the elaboration, in objective and specific conditions, of the necessary documents for these types of technical infrastructures, from their design phase and the quantification of the degree of damage on the analyzed locations but also in the areas that are located.

Highlights

Industrial sites where explosives are stored or produced are always took into consideration as major risk areas for industrial, public, and occupational safety and security
Risk areas due to the possibility of major accidents, both due to seriousness of the consequences that a possible explosion phenomenon produced on these sites can generate
The implementation of technical means of protection can increase costs, if these means are implemented after the completion of the design of a storage site or after its construction In general, changes made in the design phase are less costly and more efficient than those made later, which fully justifies the start of the risk analysis and assessment process from this stage

Summary

Introduction

Industrial sites where explosives are stored or produced are always took into consideration as major risk areas for industrial, public, and occupational safety and security. The major accident prevention policy must be compatible with the general policy in the field of activity of the organization and with the policies of other branches of management, such as quality or environmental management This policy must have the principle of preventive action and the concept of sustainable development so that economically feasible technical safety measures prevent and limit the consequences of the use of hazardous substances on public health and the environment. Being necessary tools to ensure the application of a management system as efficient as possible, which ensures both the assessment of the level of risk in the activities carried out and the measures, which must be taken to eliminate, reduce both the risks and the consequences of possible events [7], [6]. The implementation of technical means of protection can increase costs, if these means are implemented after the completion of the design of a storage site or after its construction In general, changes made in the design phase are less costly and more efficient than those made later, which fully justifies the start of the risk analysis and assessment process from this stage
