Abstract

The present work makes an analysis of a case study, carried out at the Fuel Terminal of the Porto da Matola specifically in its Manifolds, aiming to identify and enhance operational risks and propose solutions. This work presents a methodology for the analysis of risks in the Manifolds of the Porto da Matola Fuel Terminal based on the William T. Fine Method and the elaboration of a fire-fighting system related to the Internal Emergency Plan for the area of Manifolds. This study consisted of a bibliographic research and observation of the place, where the survey of activities developed in the Manifolds and survey of related documents with the issue of Occupational Hygiene and Safety. The size and complexity of industrial chemical installations, together with the nature of the products handled implies the need to carry out an assessment of the risks involved, since which is a sector considered dangerous due to the most varied reasons, such as the existence of substances hazardous materials, hazardous work equipment, among others. It is crucial that there are good practices for Hygiene, Occupational Safety, so that preventively all risks arising from the activities performed are managed effectively and safely. As a result, it was possible to identify the actions that give rise to risks with a high degree of dangerousness and that consequently may give rise to an interruption of activities, and those same risks have as a major consequence the emergence of a fire and to avoid this type of situation, or to know how to deal with them, one must draw up an internal emergency plan and implement it (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA).
