| Summary: | A petrol filling station (PFS) is a common facility that is available in urban and rural
areas. It stores and sells a highly flammable liquid. A PFS has potential hazards to the
people, asset, and environment. Variety of hazards such as fire hazards, static
electricity, fuel tank explosions, transportation hazards and air pollution evoked by
aromatic organic compounds are found to be the major causes of accident/incident
occurrences at PFS. Many companies are using different risk assessment methods to
priorities hazards related to their work activities. In this study, a new risk and safety
analysis model for PFS is to be developed |
