Purpose. The purpose of the work is to analyze the existing approaches to the identification of high-risk facilities and identify the features inherent in the process of identification of oil products supply facilities. Methodology. To achieve this goal, the analysis of the requirements of normative legal acts regulating the process of identification of high-risk facilities, methods of collecting and summarizing information, as well as critical analysis with elements of forecasting has been used. Results. The features of the process of identification of filling stations (gas stations), which are due to the change in the identification procedure and the introduction of the 3d class of high-risk facilities, have been determined. It is shown that almost all modern gas stations, which are designed for receiving, storing and dispensing light petroleum products, and where cars are refueled with LPG, are high-risk facilities of the 3d class and are subject to the requirements of regulatory legal acts regarding the identification, submission of a declaration, development and revision of the plan for localization and elimination of accidents. It has been established that in the absence of tanks for storage of LPG at gas stations, they are not highrisk facilities, and the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On High-Risk Facilities" do not apply to them. Scientific novelty. Establishing the ambiguity of the current process of identification of high-risk facilities, and the tasks that need to be solved to improve this process, which consist in harmonizing all normative legal acts that regulate security issues in the state, including in terms of planning and development of settlements, taking into account not only the dangers caused by the harmful effects of industrial enterprises and other economic facilities, but also their characteristics, as high-risk facilities. Practical value. It consists in establishing the conditions under which the gas station belongs to the 3d class of high-risk facilities, which is an important measure for the prevention of man-made accidents (explosions and fires) in connection with the loss of force of regulations governing the identification of potentially dangerous facilities and the adoption of the Procedure for identifying high-risk facilities and keeping records of them, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated September 13, 2022, No. 1030. It allows preventing negative consequences of their impact on employees, public and environment. Keywords: high-risk facilities, identification, gas stations, oil products, explosions, fires, safety.
