Saari, Mustapha Farizul Hafiz, Kasim Suhardy, Daud Risk assessment Explosive Fatalities Eardrum rupture Explosives -- Storage -- Malaysia Explosives -- Storage -- Safety measures Link to publisher's homepage at http://scipub.org/scipub/index.php In Malaysia, there has been rapidly increasing usage in amount of explosives due to widely expansion in quarrying and mining industries. The explosives are usually stored in the storage where the safety precaution had given high attention. As the storage of large quantity of explosive can be hazardous to workers and nearby residents in the events of accidental denotation of explosives, a risk assessment study for storage explosive (magazine) had been carried out. Risk assessment study had been conducted in Kimanis Quarry Sdn. Bhd, located in Sabah. Risk assessment study had been carried out with the identification of hazards and failure scenarios and estimation of the failure frequency of occurrence. Analysis of possible consequences of failure and the effects of blast waves due to the explosion was evaluated. The risk had been estimated in term of fatalities and eardrum rupture to the workers and public. The average individual voluntary risk for fatality to the workers at the quarry is calculated to be 5.75 x 10-6 per person per year, which is much lower than the acceptable level. Eardrum rupture risk calculated to be 3.15 x 10-6 per person per year for voluntary risk. There is no involuntary risk found for fatality but for eardrum rupture it was calculated to be 6.98 x 10-8 per person per year, as given by Asian Development Bank. 2008-09-12T07:54:47Z 2008-09-12T07:54:47Z 2006 Article American Journal of Applied Sciences, vol. 3 (1), 2006, pages 1685-1689. 1546-9239 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/2191 http://scipub.org/scipub/detail_issue.php?V_No=171&j_id=ajas en Science Publications |
