TECHNICAL USED FOR HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT IN THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE LIFE OF INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL PROCESS

Abstract

This paper presents a state-of-art-review of the available studies and techniques that allow the identification, evaluation and control of the hazards that can appear in the different stages of the life of industrial processes: design, construction, start-up and normal operation, process modifications and dismantling or abandonment of the facilities. It is also evidenced that the application of these identification techniques of hazards in the chemical processes allows to prevent the accidents that can happen in the industrial facilities and to assure the productivity of the same ones.
