Análise qualitativa de riscos com apr e hazop em uma planta piloto de uma agroindústria

Abstract

The importance of preventing risks that may cause harm to the employee is essential to avoid events that result in losses, whether related to security installations, the environment, and yet, the health of people. The risk is present in everything we do, and effect of the uncertainties and is explicitly characterized by potential events in generating numerous consequences. Thus, anticipating conditions likely to insecurity through verification of parameters, guides words, categories of frequency and severity of risk matrix for risk analysis in production processes, it is possible to minimize unforeseen actions. In addition, safety at work results in possible gains in productivity, quality and improving people management, creating greater reliability in their work. This work aims to analyze the security risks of work processes, specifically, in a pilot plant, and use the techniques of risk analysis called APR (Analysis Risk Preliminary) and HAZOP (Hazard and Operability Study). The methodology included qualitative analysis of risks to the above techniques, then comparing the two tools and a spreadsheet proposed checklist for safety and operations processes. Through the analysis with the APR and HAZOP, it could be verified that the techniques are used application with different methods, however, achieve common goals, which is to analyze the existing risk of a process, pointing out the causes and consequences of the critical points to take preventive measures risk.
