Compliance with rules governing process safety management (RA, QRA, HAZOP, ERDMP & PHA)

Risk Assessment (RA) is a systematic process used to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential hazards in industrial operations, ensuring the safety of personnel, assets, and the environment. It is essential for high-risk industries such as Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Power, Pharmaceuticals, and Manufacturing, where operational failures can lead to severe consequences. Key methodologies include Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), which analyzes potential accident scenarios using probabilistic models to quantify risk levels; Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP), a structured approach to identifying process hazards and deviations in design and operations; and Emergency Response and Disaster Management Plan (ERDMP), which focuses on preparedness, response, and mitigation strategies for industrial emergencies. A robust risk assessment framework helps industries comply with safety regulations, minimize operational disruptions, and enhance workplace safety and environmental protection.

Frequent asked Questions (FAQs)

Risk Assessment is a systematic approach to identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and implementing control measures to prevent accidents. It is crucial for ensuring worker safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection in high-risk industries.

Industries that handle hazardous materials and processes must conduct risk assessments, including:
  • Oil & Gas (Refineries, Pipelines, LNG Terminals)
  • Chemical & Petrochemical Plants
  • Pharmaceutical & Fertilizer Industries
  • Power Plants (Coal, Nuclear, Gas-based, Renewable Energy)
  • Fertilizer & Agrochemical Industry
  • Steel, Metal & Mining Industry
  • Warehouses, Ports & Logistics Handling Hazardous Goods

QRA evaluates the probability and consequences of hazardous events like fires, explosions, and toxic gas releases to determine risk levels. It involves:
  • Hazard Identification (HAZID)
  • Consequence Modeling (Fire, Explosion, Gas Dispersion)
  • Frequency Analysis & Risk Mapping
  • Risk Mitigation & Control Strategies

HAZOP is a structured approach to identifying potential hazards in industrial processes by analyzing process deviations. It ensures operational safety and is required for chemical processing, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, and power industries.

ERDMP is a legally mandated safety plan under PNGRB regulations that prepares industries for emergencies. It is essential for industries handling hazardous materials, refineries, LNG storage, and chemical plants.

Risk assessments must comply with:
  • Factories Act, 1948 – Process Safety Requirements
  • MSIHC Rules, 1989 – Hazardous Chemicals Handling
  • PNGRB ERDMP Regulations, 2010 – Oil & Gas Sector Compliance
  • OISD Guidelines (OISD-117, OISD-206, etc.)

  • QRA & HAZOP: Every 3-5 years or after major process modifications
  • ERDMP: Annually, with regular emergency drills
  • Safety Audits: As per regulatory mandates & industry best practices

Failure to conduct risk assessments can lead to:
  • Legal penalties & operational shutdowns
  • Increased risk of accidents & financial losses
  • Non-compliance with safety laws, leading to reputational damage
