Abstract
Comprehensive risk assessment is very important work for effective prevention and control of chemical accidents in hazardous chemical procedure industries. This paper first proposes a perspective and workflow for comprehensive risk assessment of hazardous chemical plants. Several key components: case base, vulnerability analysis model, indicator system based risk assessment model are included in the workflow. As a kind of professional tool for geographical information manipulation, GIS can provide strong support for analysis of case data, especially some spatial location relevant data, which are in the majority among all case information. Next, GIS can provide support for implementation and run of vulnerability analysis models. Further, with strong spatial analysis capability of GIS, one can carry out Impact evaluation of a chemical accident. Thus, GIS can provide versatile support in comprehensive risk assessment of hazardous chemical plants. In this paper, we will affirm: Spatial analysis and visualization of GIS can facilitate the management of case base and provide fundamental support for vulnerability analysis and risk assessment models.
