Gerenciamento e análise de risco - estudo em uma distribuidora de combustível

Abstract

The industrialization process fostered by the Industrial Revolution promoted the development of new technologies. Later with the Second World War, the need for new materials, the transition from the energy matrix to oil generated the expansion and complexity of industrial plants and consequent greater exposure to danger. Not only in the industrial areas, but also in the storage and transport of hazardous materials, which grew at a pace. In this context, these activities exposed the occurrence of increased industrial accidents due to the absence of risk management. On the other hand, circumstances led to the creation of legislation aimed at preventing and controlling process accidents. In this work, the approach shows the evolution of the industrial context referring to hazardous products, with emphasis on the distribution and storage of chemical products, the emergence of regulatory processes and tools for risk control and management. To this end, a risk analysis review was carried out in a fuel distribution unit, using risk analysis techniques, the degree of risk in the installation's sectors and activities, together with the appropriate recommendations for process control.
