Study on Emergency Response Rank Mode of Flammable and Explosive Hazardous Materials Road Transportation
Year: 2012
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) road transport is a hot issue of societal public safety, and it is extremely important to quickly response and rescue emergency accidents. In this paper, according to fire risk characteristics of transporting flammable and explosive hazmat by road, it was identified and analyzed on the representative hazmat leakage scenarios and the methods of determination of accident emergency regions, and a comprehensive systematic framework of emergency response rank mode for hazmat accidents by road was proposed. Moreover, some recommended practice about initial accident region of transportation of hazmat from NFPA471 and ERG2008 was described, and it was put forward on a quantitative approach to determine the emergency response rank for hazmat road accidents, based utilizing death toll, individual risk and societal risk as an emergency rank criterion. This research pays a very important role in the emergency response and helps the fire commanders to implement the rescue efficiently in hazmat transport accidents by road.
