Abstract

The theoretical foundations for the risk analysis and assessment and the security management of chemical plants are elaborated. Logical graphical, logical, and probabilistic models for the analysis and assessment of the risk of accident occurrence for different types of chemically hazardous objects are proposed. The classification of the problems of the security management of chemical plants is conducted and production models for the operative security management of chemica technology systems intended to prevent the appearance of failures and emergencies in the units of chemical plants are developed. Examples of the practical application of the models and methods for the analysis of the occupational hazards, risk assessment, and security management of chemical and oil refining plants are presented.
