    An oil refinery is an industrial plant that transforms crude oil into more useful products. It is a large, complex facility with extensive piping that uses chemicals in processing. Refineries carry significant risks like fires and explosions that can harm workers and neighboring communities from issues across the facility in areas like processing, storage, loading, and security. Proper protections are needed to manage risks at various stages of refining and distribution that could lead to catastrophes.

    Risk
    There are a lot of risk in an Oil Refinery Plant, which can harm or even
    be lethal to the people in and around the plant.

    These are the issue areas:


    • Wharves, Loading areas, pipelines
    • Hydrocarbon processing areas
    • Hydrocarbon storage and tanks
    • Non-processing buildings
    • Neighbours

    3
    They are often grouped as:
    • Major catastrophes
    • Risk associated with fire protection system
    • Wharves, shipping, loading and unloading
    • Site security
    • Local Community
