Abstract:
Domino accidents are one types of incidents that lead to irreparable damage to industrial units. Since the consequences of such incidents are far more than the first level incident, consideration of this issue and the provision of appropriate strategies for identifying and evaluating this type of incident is very important. Major efforts have been made in the area of process safety is in risk assessment and identify possible scenarios and their probability of occurrence, and have not addressed the financial consequences of an incident. In this research, an algorithm has been developed to estimate the financial losses incurred with an industrial unit due to a domino incident and various predictable scenarios for which may occur in the result of first accident. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated and verified by using a domino accident investigation in Bouali Sina petrochemical industry in August 2016. In the following, using the Freedom II algorithm and adding a financial survey of probable scenarios for a hypothetical layout, introduced evaluation parameter for managers in order to be able to make the appropriate decisions for investment and spending in the field of unit safety
