OCP – SAFI Chemical Complex Feedback in Industrial Risk Analysis

Phosphates processing in chemical complex sites are confronted with the need to control the various risks associated with accidents at workplace, but also those which are considered as major risks for the environment and off-site populations generated by hazardous materials used in the process. The objective of this intervention is to present the active approach adopted by OCP to map the various risks in chemicals activities at the site of SAFI. A Safety study was conducted, focused on the different divisions and services activities and based on the methodology of the Safety case used for SEVESO AS sites, according to the French regulation. Improvement actions in technical, organizational and human areas are identified in order to control risks to an acceptable level. Following this Safety study, the emergency plan (or Internal Operation Plan) has been updated, allowing OCP to manage operations in order to control potential accidents.
