Abstract
Increase in productivity and technological system i nnovation have resulted a boost in the specific act ivity of use and handling petroleum Products the chemical and physical properties of petroleum products represent an advantage when they are used for its o wn uses, but may result in accidental scenarios whi ch can cause serious damage to people and to environme nt. The quantitative risk analysis applied to gasol ine storage plant is a tool to quantify the damage and to planning safety of exposed workers and people in surrounding area. Therefore this represents an effe ctive means for emergency planning. Defined the vulnerability of the potential damage area through the characterization of known exposure levels, is possible to assess the individual risk indicators w hich depends on these exposure levels and the hazar d scenarios evolution. The evaluations are used to ve rify that, for the emergency management purposes and safety design, it is partial to consider only the a ccidental events with high probability of occurrenc e but is exhaustive to use a quantitative probabilistic risk indicator (Expected Value of Damage). Through simulation of generated danger flow, consistent wit h the operating conditions of the plant, the compli ance conditions in the early step of emergency management and the practical procedures for the implementation of the identified hazard scenarios h ave been laid down. These assessments check, as strategic goals, that the collection areas are not affected by the danger flow.

Summary
The analyzed plant consists of 18 above-ground tanks for the storage of gasoline equipped with floating roof (Fig. 1). Within the plant there are pipes for the products transfer and shelters for the tank trucks load. Within the plant are carried only pumping procedures for the product transfer from containment systems to other, such as tanks and tank trucks without changes in chemical/physical properties of the substance. The product capacity, that could be present, exceed the limits suggested in the legislative Decree August
