Republic of Moldova’

ICS Danube Logistics SRL, Giurgiulesti International Free Port

UNECE Seminar on Risk Assessment Methodologies Geneva, 4 December 2018

The oil terminal consists of : one jetty on the

river Danube, a tank farm

consisting of eight tanks,

truck-loading facilities and, from mid 2012

a mixed-gauge rail loading/unloading facilities.

The total storage capacity of 63,600 cubic meters.

The laws and regulations concerning occupational safety and health in Republic of Moldova

• Law No. 186-XVI of 10 July 2008 on Occupational Healthand Safety.

The responsability of the employer is to take measures forpreventing its workers from risks.

• Labour Code No. 154-XV of 28 March 2003.• Law No. 140-XV of 10.05.2001 on Labour Inspection.• Act of the Republic of Moldova on Dealing with Harmful

Products and Substances, No. 1236-XIII of July 3, 1997• Act of the Republic of Moldova on Fire Safety, No. 267-XIII

of November 9, 1994• etc. ..

4 categories (depending on the theoretical model of the work accident genesis):

• Methods such as "Controls and checks"o (check-lists at the company, divisions, work station,

industry level)• Methods based on the Heinrich model

o (check-lists of dangerous conditions and behaviors)• Methods based on systems reliability theory

o Analysis of fault modes and their effects (AMDE)o Deflection Tree Analysis (ADD)o Preliminary Risk Analysis (APR)o HAZOP Method (Hazard Operability)o MOSAR method

• Methods based on ergonomics systemo DSF method (Diagnosis safety form)o DCT method (Diagnostique des conditions du travail)o SDQ method (Safety diagnosis Questionare)o MORT method (Management Oversight and Risk Tree)o RENAULT method o INCDPM method Bucureşti Romaniao Mera method

RISK ASSESSMENT METHODS

STANDARD EN ISO 14121-1: 2007 Establishes the risk assessment principle: identifying the risk factors in the system under consideration and quantifying the size of the risks based on the combination of the severity and frequency of the maximum foreseeable consequence of the risk factor action on the human bodyIt summarizes six risk assessment methods (HAZOP, MOSAR, AMDEC, DELPHI, WHAT IF, APR)

What kind of risks exist?

• Real risk - the one transformed into an accident or occupational disease (resulting from statistics)

• Potential risk - one that can cause an accident or can lead to a professional illness

• Assumed risk - the one remaining after all known measures

6. Ccomparisonsof the Risk Rate With a criteria

• DL developed the HAZID document for an oil terminal - presenting significant hazards associated with operational activities - based on different scenarios of possible accidents.

• For the existing and expected port instalations assessed by an HAZID team, led by the Germanischer Lloyd Industrial Services GmbH, Buseness Segment Oil and Gas, 77 diferent scenarios were analised with final identification of:

• 29 scenario’s with a reducedrisk level (green color)

• 48 scenario’s with a medium level of risks (yellow color )

• no scenario with high level of risk (red color)

• Development of safety fiches for each working place, separate tasks, and for each position, Oil Terminal Risks Register

• Development of safety documentation• Evaluation of risks - individual risks, collective and/or group risks• It is a systematic review of the risks associated with all components of the

work process:o executorowork taskowork equipmentowork environment

• The review responds to: which risks do exist at the work place• which risks can be eliminated• what preventive and protective measures must be taken to control the risks

that can not be eliminated (assumed)

Thank you foryour kind attention www.gifp.md

If you don't invest in risk management, it doesn't matter what business you're in,it's a risky business.
