IDENTIFICATION AND SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF THE HAZARDOUS ZONES (UNWANTED ENERGY FLOWS) IN A PETROCHEMICAL PROJECT BY APPLICATION OF ET; BA METHOD

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In industries, construction phase is one of the high risk activities that involve with many problems. One of these problems is injuries wide spectrum as considerable portion of lost days allocate in this phase. According to the importance and expansion of petrochemical cons...

Meanwhile, working on scaffoldings has had the most number of high risks (23 cases) and the other sections including excavation, working at height, electrical, welding and cutting operations are placed in the next level of importance with 21, 19, 13 and 11 high-risk cases, respectively.
