Best Practices
The concept of a Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) is referenced in many of the standards, practices, and guidance documents that are applied in the industry. It also has other names – Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) and Fire and Explosion Analysis (FEA) to name two. The analysis efforts may also be bundled with other hazard requirements in standards and guidance documents that are often vague and somewhat subjective when discussing FHA methodology. This document provides field-tested suggestions and best practices to help bridge the gap between the standards and fire hazard studies.
Kristen Graham and David Black have leveraged their years of quantitative and qualitative experience, respectively, to develop this FHMA best practice.
This BakerRisk Best Practice document provides guidance on F&G detector mapping.
A dust explosion can be sudden and catastrophic, causing deaths, injuries, and destruction of entire buildings.
This BakerRisk Best Practice document provides general guidance for performing an FSS to ensure that the consequences or risks to people posed by facility operations are thoroughly, accurately, and defensibly quantified and allow consequences or risks to be minimized to the extent practical.
The objective of a HAC analysis is to minimize uncontrolled ignition by electrical equipment or hot surfaces of flammables in air that could lead to fires or explosions resulting in equipment and property damage as well as potential loss of life.
The HF Alkylation process is an important, core process in refinery operations to produce gasoline that meets modern clean fuels and engine performance requirements.
This BakerRisk Best Practice document provides general guidance for performing highly effective HAZOP studies.
