AN INTEGRATED SAFETY IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS BASED ON RISK ASSESSMENT TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY ENGINEERING PRACTICE IN THE GAS FIELDS OF SYLHET REGION, BANGLADESH

ABSTRACT

The industrial sectors of Bangladesh mostly depend on the petroleum industry. Historically, risk and hazards are the common scenario in the petroleum industry occurring due to lack of efficient risk assessment, resulting in financial loss, injury, or harm for people, and the environment. To prevent these losses, it is essential to implement the best risk assessment plan. The objective of this research is to enhance the implementation of safety engineering systems in the petroleum industry through risk assessment. For this, purpose at first, the questionnaire survey for the perception of risk identification and safety system is performed to determine the current defects in the safety engineering system. Then, using SPSS software the risk analysis as well as ANOVA and reliability analysis of the collected data is accomplished to examine top risk factors. Concerning both interview and questionnaire analysis, an integrated risk assessment-based safety analysis has been performed to optimize the performance of the safety engineering system. The outcomes of this research expose the technical, procedural, and behavioral gap in the current risk assessment for the safe implementation of the safety engineering system of the petroleum industry of Bangladesh.
