PROCESS SAFETY IN METALLURGICAL PRODUCION

As a consequence of technological accidents regular conditions of metallurgical processes can change into operational discontinuity. For that reason the main aim of the paper is to present a concept of the risk based process safety assurance. It is directed at the arrangement of the supervised processes realization resulting in prevention and minimization of uncontrolled damages to employees' health and environmental pollution. The fundaments of the described concept is risk management and systemic approach required by guidelines of: environmental and occupational management systems as well as Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS) management system.The exemplary actions of the risk based process safety assurance in metallurgical production are presented.
