API RP 752 Document Information:
Title
Management of Hazards Associated with Location of Process Plant Buildings
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2003
Scope:
Applicability
This publication was developed for refineries, petrochemical and
chemical operations, natural gas
liquids extraction plants, and other facilities covered by the OSHA
Process Management Standard, 29
CFR 1910.119. This publication does not apply to production facilities
surrounded by navigable
waters, such as offshore platforms or to storage tanks, wastewater
tanks and similar facilities.
Such facilities have unique siting issues which are addressed by other
recommended practices, such
as RP 14J for off-shore facilities.
Additionally, this publication is not intended for use in designing
and locating safe refuge from
the effects of fires, explosions, and toxic releases.
Relationship of this Recommended Practice to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119
OSHA 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.119, "Process Safety
Management of Highly Hazardous
Chemicals (PSM)," includes requirements for addressing facility siting
as part of a process hazards
analysis (PHA).
This publication is intended to assist in identifying the siting
issues for process plant
buildings, understanding the associated hazards, and managing the
risk. Hence, this publication
provides a framework that can be used to address facility siting
within the PHA requirements of
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 as applied to buildings.
The PHA as required by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 is intended to identify
scenarios that could lead to
serious release of toxic or flammable materials or an explosion. Those
parts of this publication
intended to assist in the PHA process are identified on the flowcharts
(see Figures 2, 4, and 5) by
a dashedline box labeled "PHA." The remaining parts are intended to
serve as management aids in
resolving issues that arise when evaluating the location of process
plant buildings.
