Disaster Risk Management

  • Man-Made Hazards are part of the Sendai Framework
  • For the first time:

Natural disaster risks Humanitarian disaster risks, and Man-Made disaster risks

are covered in one Disaster Risk Management Framework!

Challenges for Success

  • For Disaster Risk Management to be successful across all disaster

fields there is a need to develop common understandings and appreciation of differences for:

Terminology Concepts associated with the use of the terminology Approaches to effective Disaster Risk Management.

  • Currently there are differences in approaches and differences in
  • concepts. This can lead to misunderstanding and failure to

communicate effectively.

Natural and Humanitarian Disasters

  • Mitigation of consequences towards reduction of magnitude:

e.g. pumping strategies and sand sack deployment to defend a location against flooding

  • Response to needs occurring as a result of particular

consequences:

e.g. temporary accommodation, heavy lifting equipment, emergency drinking water supplies, emergency health care facilities

  • Planning and strategies to be able to fulfil these two requirements:

National, regional planning, international networks, lists and databases

  • f resources, structures to trigger activities and activate resources

Major Chemical Accident Risk Management

  • Major Chemical Accident Risk Management (part of the field of

Man-Made Hazards):

Has existed for over 40 years. Has developed extensive experience at local, national and international level. Experience is documented in policies, regulations, standards, as well as research published in journals and shared at conferences.

  • However major chemical accidents still happen.

Major Chemical Accidents / Disasters

Feyzin, France 1966 Fire and explosion of an LPG storage in a refinery, Flixborough, UK 1974 Fire and explosion of a 30 t release of cyclohexane, 28 killed, 89 injured Seveso, Italy 1976 Release of contents of a chemical reactor, contamination of several km² with contents including ca. 2 kg TCDD (Dioxin), evacuation

  • f 5700 people, numerous cases of chlor-acne

Bhopal, India 1984 Release of a toxic cloud of methyl isocyanate from a storage tank, > 3000 killed, > 170000 injured, the site is still contaminated Schweizerhalle, Basle, CH 1986 Fire in a warehouse storing pesticides. 10000 m³ contaminated fire-fighting water containing 30 tonnes of chemicals released to Rhine. Major disruption to drinking water supply, ecological damage over 500 km.

Major Chemical Accidents / Disasters (2)

Baia Mare, Romania 2000 Collapse of a dam at a tailings pond released 100000 m³ liquid conatinin 50 – 100 tonnes of cyanides and heavy metals to the Somes, Tisza and Danube rivers (ca 2000 km river pollution) Enschede, Netherlands 2000 A stock of ca. 100 t of explosives was detonated by a smaller fire. This led to a massive explosion and fireball which destroyed and damaged property over a wide area, 21 killed, > 900 injured. Toulouse, France 2001 An explosion in an ammonium nitrate and fertiliser factory destroyed the facility and caused widespread damage in the surrounding area, 29 killed, ca. 2500 injured Buncefield, UK 2005 The massive overfilling of a petroleum storage tank by pipeline at a fuel storage depot led to several explosions and a fire which engulfed 22 storage tanks, substantial property damage

Major Chemical Accidents / Disasters (3)

Viareggio, Italy 2009 5 of 14 rail tank wagons carrying LPG derailed close to the railway station of Viareggio before

  • midnight. Release of LPG ignited and railcars

exploded, 32 killed, 26 injured, several houses destroyed Evangelos Florakis, Cyprus 2011 Explosion of confiscated munitions at a naval base destroyed a neighbouring power plant, 13 killed, 62 injured, widespread power-cuts, economic costs ca. 10% GDP. Sant'Angelo, Italy 2013 Explosion at a pyrotechnics factory, 5 killed Gorni Lom, Bulgaria 2014 Munitions factory dismantling anti-personnel

  • mines. An explosion killed 15 (10% workforce),

3 injured, huge craters – buildings “disappeared”, debris flew up to 1 km. Modugno, Italy 2015 Explosion at a pyrotechnics factory, 6 killed

Stakeholders in Major Chemical Accident Risk Management

  • Industry:

primary responsibility to take all measures necessary to prevent the

  • ccurrence of major accidents and to limit their effects should they
  • ccur.
  • Public authorities:

responsible for the inspection and enforcement activities to ensure that operators comply with their responsibilities. Also responsible for land-use planning.

  • International co-operation:

exists between EU, OECD, UN-ECE, UNEP, ILO, WHO, ICCA (industry associations) to share experience and exchange good practice and lessons learned.

Major Chemical Accident Prevention & Preparedness

  • Prevention of Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC)

Understanding the inherent risks in the chemicals and their reactions Principles of inherent safety Design and construction of the plant and equipment Control and alarm systems Qualification and training of personnel Planing and execution of maintenance and inspection

  • Limiting the effects

Secondary and tertiary containment Fire protection systems including fire-fighting crews Physical barriers to protect against fire & blast

  • Land-use planning and siting of facilities

Tools for Risk Management from the Major Chemical Accident Context

  • Systematic Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

Dow Fire & Explosion Index Hazard and operability Study (HAZOP) Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA)

  • Safety Management System

Responsibilities, Processes and Procedures Management of Change (MoC) Continual Control Process, Senior Management Review

  • Land-Use Planning
  • Accident Reporting and Lessons Learned

Exchange of Knowledge and Experience

  • What can be done to reduce or prevent exposure to a disaster

hazard?

  • How can “Management of Change” but built in to Disaster Risk

Management systems to provide robustness?

Data and information exchange between authorities to be able to “discover change”

  • How can engineers be encouraged to “think the unthinkable” and

support the planning for disasters? – Recognising that systems will fail.

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Exchange of Knowledge and Experience (2)

  • How can disasters be better documented to understand causal

chains and develop lessons learned?

Which disasters / major accidents / hazardous incidents should we be recording? What should the data look like, e.g. Loss Data Initiative? What is the natural & humanitarian disaster equivalent to eMARS?

Conclusions

  • Man-made hazards, including major chemical accidents, are part of

the disaster risk management framework (Sendai)

  • There is over 40 years of experience in the field of major chemical

accident risk management.

  • Accidents still happen!
  • Disaster Risk Management needs to recognise that measures to

prevent exposure to hazards are an effective step in preventing loss of life, damage to property and the environment.

  • The fields of engineering need to recognise that engineered

systems can and will fail and strategic planning is necessary.

  • Communication and sharing amongst practioners is essential.
