PETROCHEMICAL SAFETY MANAGEMENT
At the premises there is a rotten-egg odor spreading – escape of toxic, highly flammable hydrogen sulfide! Fortunately, this happens only once in a blue moon. However, staff and local residents can feel at ease if there is a proper safety management program for such cases. Safety management is absolutely essential for refineries and other petrochemical plants; the relevant standards are defined and specified by law, in workplace regulations and instructions, rules and regulations of trade or employers' liability insurance associations as well as in the standards of property insurers. Above all, the protection of life and health has top priority. In cases of emergency, quickest possible reaction times are always essential.
However, an efficient safety management program offers even more advantages: for instance, insurers grant their customers more favorable rates and trade or employers' liability insurance associations assign a lower danger class rating if the safety standard is above average in cross-sector comparison. And what convinces budget and cost-conscious managers is the fact that effective safety management is a contribution to the value added: each day of production loss may cost millions.
