Abstract

A comprehensive study on system safety assessment of an Indian Oil Refinery incident for five year was done considering the effect of incidents on refinery infrastructure and human injury/causality. The impact of incidents has been assessed by two parameter first the time between two successive incidents and seconds its consequences. The hazard rate function and cumulative risk function for distinguished category of incident in oil refinery were developed. The study evaluated the status of safety level as well as the scope of improvement for the particular oil refinery safety.
