Abstract:
The Chemical Industry has gradually attained central role in modern and
transitioning economies of the world. The chemical products are extremely important
for national economy, and the strong dependence between chemical industry and
other industries is mutually reinforcing. Therefore, the safety and risk assessment of
chemical storage and related facilities has immense importance for avoiding the
chemical accidents, preventing inadvertent and deliberate misuse of chemicals. While
storing large quantities of hazardous substances entails risk for the population, the
environment and the surrounding area. Spills and Leakage of hazardous substances
into the soil can lead to expensive decontamination processes. These situations could
lead to a disaster. This studyconducted deals with evaluation and minimization of risk,
associated with chemical storage and provide safe site alternative for solvent storage
as current storage will be demolished. In practical terms, a risk assessment is a
thorough look at workplace to identify those things, situations and processes that may
cause harm particularly to people. After identification, we evaluated how likely and
severe the risk isand then decided what measures should be in place to effectively
prevent or control the harm from happening. The study is undertaken to minimize risk
to reduce the probability of losses in form of lives, environment and reputation of the
Packages limited Lahore. The workers in chemical industries generally face problem
in inhalation due to improper ventilation and health issues related to fire. In packages
MSDS were provided to workers for safe handling of chemicals. Safety measures and
emergency contact numbers were displayed. The In this study the site alternative for
solvent storage is also provided after undergoing all possible sites. It is done
according to petroleum rules 1985. After observing situations in the organization
emergency preparedness plans and recommendations were given.
