Aggregated Risk Assessment and Survey for Risk Reduction in Oil Terminals

One of the goals of any oil terminal is to make a business while avoiding hazardous events and harmful effects for both humans and the environment. This can be achieved by creating a safe working place as well as by performing safe and acceptable activities regarding the impact on surrounding object...
