ABSTRACT
The chemical industry is very vulnerable to hazards due to factory operational activities. One potential hazard in the industrial is fire hazards. The purpose of this research is to identify hazards and fire risk assessment in the operational activities in the chemical industry. This research uses the hazard identification and risk assessment method. Determination of severity, probability, and level of fire risk is carried out through Focus Group Discussion with competent experts in fire risk management in the chemical industry. The result of the study are identifying hazards in operational activities in the chemical industry, conducting of the risk assessment, and determine of the risk level and risk control causes of fires. A total of 15 activities in the chemical plant studied have a risk of fire with a high level of severity but the chance of occurrence varies. Activities that are classified as high fire risk in the chemical industry are the ship carrying of flammable liquids leaning to the jetty, unloading flammable liquids from ship to storage tank, loading flammable liquids from storage tank to truck, transfering flammable liquids from storage tank to production tank, and unloading flammable liquids from truck to storage tank.
