Risk Management in Work Activities at Ammonia Plant Fertilizer Production Industry

Abstract

Introduction: PT X is one of the companies in fertilizer production industry. There are two high-risk activities that endanger the safety and health of workers, namely supervision of welding and oil level checking in ammonia plant field of PT X. The purpose of this research was to apply risk management to the activities. Method: This research was a descriptive study which was carried out in observation using a cross sectional design. Variables in this study included hazard identification, basic risk analysis, risk control that has been done, existing risk analysis, and risk reduction assessment. The tools used for the data collection were observation sheets, interview guide sheets, and Job Safety Analysis sheets. Data that has been obtained through observation and interviews was processed using Fine (1971) semi quantitative technique. Results: The results of hazard identification were known to have as many as 6 potential hazards. The assessment results in the basic risk analysis showed that the initial risk level consisted of 3 risks with very high level, 2 risks with a substantial level and 1 risk with priority 3 level. After the risk control effort was applied, the results of the assessment in the existing risk analysis showed that the level of risk has decreased significantly. Conclusion: The value of risk reduction of each potential hazard results decreases by 95%, 88.89%, 85%, 93.33%, 66.67%, and 75%.Keywords: ammonia plant, fertilizer production industry, risk management

Process Modeling and Simulation of Ammonia Production from Natural Gas: Control and Response Analysis

“…Process control is concerned with making sure that processes perform their tasks in a safe and economical way (Frahm et al, 2001;Grasdal et al, 1998). Process control technology is the tool that enables manufacturers to keep their operations running within specified limits and to set more precise limits to maximize profitability, ensure quality, minimize risk and ensure safety (Novandhini et al, 2020;Ojha & Dhiman, 2010). Control performance depends on the quality of the used Instrumentation and Control (I&C) infrastructure (i.e.…”

Risk Management in The Packaging Unit at Animal Feed Industry Sidoarjo, Indonesia

“…This should be done by safety briefing, supervision and the provisions of work instructions as well as easy access on first aid kits and clinic. Examining the bench regularly to check on its stability should be included in the safety assessment (Novandhini, Mahfudz and Paskarini, 2020).…”

“…The risk management approach is carried out based on a flowchart that links risk analysis, risk-transparency reporting, then the transparency reporting is used in making risk management decisions which will be used to implement risk management (Lathrop and Ezell, 2017). Research related to occupational safety risk management in the industry by Novandhini, Mahfudz and Paskarini (2020) shows a significantly reduced risk after risk control is carried out.…”
