Análise preliminar de riscos em postos de combustíveis: estudo de caso

Abstract

The posts fuel dealers while they are technological tools that provide social and economic benefits to society, such as energy for automotive vehicles move around, can also generate conditions of risk to humans, the environment and its facilities. In Brazil, a country with 39.450 gas stations and approximately 400.000 direct employees, shows a huge amount of the market that is subject to various risks. This review this he studied a gas reseller fuel, which is located in the BR -376 highway, in São José dos Pinhais/PR, site of this great movement of vehicles of different sizes. The objective of the study is to assess the risks to the environment and the health and safety of workers at a fuel station applying the Preliminary Risk Analysis (PRA) method. With the results we observed that workers, especially the attendants of the project, subject to relevant chemical hazards, especially when related to the inhalation of gases and vapors derived from hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, and risk of accidents due to falls in ditches exchange of large vehicles oil. It was concluded that only the Preliminary Hazard Analysis is insufficient to define the degrees of risks in the enterprise tool, hence the need to use another tool for identifying risks or even conditioning to an approach for quantitative analysis, to complement the review and confirmation of the occupational risks posed numerically.
