SIMULATIONS OF SCENARIOS AND MODELING OF THE EFFECTS OF A WORST POSSIBLE ACCIDENT IN THE FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY

The Seveso directives on the control and prevention of major accidents prescribe the obligations of industries that contain hazardous substances in specified quantities. To meet the requirements for safe technology, it is necessary to conduct complex field research, identify potential accidents, perform simulations of accident scenarios, and model their effects, consequences, vulnerable zones, and risk assessment. This paper presents the results of research at the location of a Seveso operator (Contract: JN122OU/15) and simulates a complex case of the worst possible accident, specifically a terrorist attack on fuel oil tanks, resulting in an explosion that would spread to the zinc-oxide warehouse through a domino effect. The computer program ALOHA was used to model the dispersion of toxic gases, determine the consequences of explosions, analyze vulnerability, and identify danger zones to obtain relevant data for the development of protection measures and accident response
