Abstract:

To explore human error in complex emergency rescue scenarios for hazardous chemical accidents in chemical industry parks and improve human reliability in emergency rescue actions, a comprehensive analysis method was established to quantitatively evaluate the human reliability of emergency rescue for hazardous chemical accidents. Firstly, based on the laws, regulations and standards related to the emergency rescue of hazardous chemical accidents, 20 emergency behaviors in chemical industry parks were summarized and extracted. Secondly, cognitive reliability and error analysis method(CREAM) was introduced to determine the probability of human error. Analytic hierarchy process(AHP) and entropy weight method were combined to quantify the severity of errors in emergency behaviors. Finally, from the perspectives of possibility and severity, the weak aspects of emergency behaviors in chemical industry parks were explored, and the strategies for enhancing emergency rescue capabilities in chemical industry parks were discussed. The practical application of the method was verified with the example of N chemical industry park. The results show that 20 emergency behaviors were divided into 3 clusters. There are 4 emergency behaviors identified that needed to be prioritized for improvement in the petrochemical zone: risk assessment, fire-fighting, initial disposal of enterprises and rescue of people in distress. For these emergency behaviors, it was proposed that N chemical industry park should focus on optimizing the accident information transmission mechanism, improving decision-making and command effectiveness, and strengthening rapid response and disaster identification capabilities, so as to provide countermeasures and suggestions for improving its emergency rescue capability.
