| Summary: | Petrol Fuel Stations (PFS) are hazardous
work places. They store and sell flammable material
(petrol, diesel and CNG). Arrival and departure of
various kinds of vehicles to take fuel is normal round the
clock. Due to availability of flammable materials at PFS
poses constant hazard to the staff, public, assets and
environment. Minor mistake has the potential to create
disastrous situations. Human behavior found one of the
dominant factors to create hazard contributing
scenarios at PFS. One year data collected (2008) and
1203 events recorded. Other factors related to process
failure also exist but requires less attention. 1203 hazard
contributing factors further divided into 8 main
categories. These are housekeeping (55), transportation
hazard (255), slips trips and falls (215), carelessness
(244), fire (17), electrical fault (97), medical treatment
cases (61) and miscellaneous cases (279). Detail
description of these hazards contributing factors also
presenting in this paper. Based upon occurrences of
these hazard contributing factors, safety and risk
assessment framework prepared and is presenting in
this study for further implementation. |
