Consequence assessment of explosions for fuel-air mixtures at hazardous production facilities

The purpose of occupational health and safety studies is to protect employees from work accidents and occupational diseases and to ensure that they work in a healthy environment. Most of the work accidents happen as a result of wrong storage, transportation and use of chemicals. In order to protect employees from chemical hazards and eliminate their possible risks, a risk assessment should first be carried out. Based on the results of the risk assessment, if not done before, bottles that contain hazardous chemicals must be classified and labelled according to their risk levels. The labels of bottles that contain chemical liquids must be checked and if the labels are worn or unreadable, they must be renewed. After these have been done, hazardous chemical liquids must be classified, stored and transported according to these labels. In this study, a non-contact, liquid measurement system based on microwave data is proposed to detect hazardous liquids. In order to select the most suitable algorithm for use in this measurement system, 3 different classification algorithms have been used and the performance analysis of the algorithms has made. In the study, 3 different classification processes have been applied according to the chemical properties of the liquids. It has been observed that Random Tree algorithm has achieved the best performance while Rep Tree algorithm has done the worst performance. Using this system, hazardous chemical liquids can be detected without opening the cover of the bottles that contain the liquids. Therefore, it can be used to quickly label hazardous liquids for their safe storage and transportation.

“…It has been reported that young workers have a higher non-fatal accident rate than older workers [2,3]. In order to create and maintain a safe working environment, hazards that may occur at workplaces should be identified and it is necessary to effectively monitor potential risks and give priority to preventive activities [4].…”

The purpose of this study is to improve the method of assessing the risk of damage from exposure to heat flow in accidents with the combustion of hydrocarbons. Modern methods of calculating fire risk values used in Russia are largely based on methods developed by foreign colleagues. However, there are a number of points that are not taken into account in any guide. In the course of the study, it is advisable to conduct an experiment, the results of which will determine the dependence of the degree of damage to living tissues on the intensity and time of exposure to radiation. This dependence is the basis for a mathematical model of human damage by waves of any spectrum, including radiation during the combustion of hydrocarbons. The results of mathematical modeling will be the basis for the development of an approach to the assessment of individual fire risk indicators, the normalization of human thermal injury with varying exposure duration and intensity of thermal radiation.
