Risk assessment for incidents/accidents: a case study at chemical storage warehouse at northern region of Malaysia

Chemical incidents/accidents and vulnerabilities can cause devastating effects and this study examined the impact in chemical storage warehouses. The objective of this study was to systematically apprehend the risk factors by identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risk to determine a conducive, saf...

description Chemical incidents/accidents and vulnerabilities can cause devastating effects and this study examined the impact in chemical storage warehouses. The objective of this study was to systematically apprehend the risk factors by identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risk to determine a conducive, safe, and confident working environment. Despite the negative impact of chemicals, and the increase of accident data in reports of DOSH, BOMBA and SOCSO, the actual numbers of incidents/accidents, health, and spillage statistics contributed by chemical storage warehouses are unclear. This study investigated this occurrence and simultaneously examined to identify how chemical vulnerabilities are managed, and the effectiveness of risk models employed since there is scarce academic research that has explored this issue. The qualitative methodology employing the phenomenology approach was engaged, utilising face- toface interviews as the major data collection method. Twelve participants from chemical warehouses (CW) and manufacturers with chemical storage (MCS) in the northern region states of Malaysia were selected employing purposive sampling and the Snow Balling technique.
