SOME ISSUES OF DETERMINING THE CATEGORY ON TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARD OF OBJECTS CATEGORY OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF COMPLEX FORENSIC FIRE ENGINEERING, ENGINEERING ENVIRONMENTAL EXAMINATIONS

Abstract

The aim of this work is to analyze the sources and factors of danger, their structure and the nature of functioning, which under certain circumstances can initiate or cause the threat of emergency situations, as well as the study of the main stages in determining the compliance with the category of industrial hazard of business objects.
 The relevance of the work is due to the fact that on the territory of Ukraine there is a significant number of objects on which hazardous chemical and biological substances, as well as other hazardous sources and hazard factors, are used in carrying out economic activities in technological processes. Such objects are located mainly in areas with a high concentration of the population, which in turn sharply increases the level of threat to human life and health, worsen the state of the environment and, in the event of accidents or catastrophes, can lead to large material losses.
 One of the tasks in conducting complex forensic examinations and expert studies is to establish the belonging of a business entity to a certain category of technological safety. For this, it is necessary to analyze their structure and the nature of their functioning in order to establish the fact of the presence or absence of sources of danger, which under certain circumstances can initiate or cause a real threat of emergency situations.
 In this paper, we consider an algorithm for solving problems of establishing the availability of sources and hazards, determining their ability to initiate an emergency, and further determining the category of industrial hazard to which economic activity belongs.
 The classification of emergencies by the nature of origin, the extent of distribution, the size of human losses, and material losses is determined. The state, regional, local, object levels of emergency are considered.
 The main stages are given in determining the compliance with the category of industrial hazard of economic activity objects, which will allow systematizing the research process when performing complex fire engineering, engineering environmental examinations.
