Abstract

Introduction. The analysis shows that one of the main causes of accidents at refineries is the low reliability of process equipment and technological discipline violation.Problem Statement. The objective of this research is to study theoretical foundations of loading and unloading railway overpass operation, to identify hazardous factors and to suggest measures to improve safety during operation of this overpass at the oil depot of Bashneft-roznitsa ООО (limited liability company).Theoretical Part. During loading and unloading operations, many accidents occur annually that pose some risk to workers life and health and cause damage to the ecology and economy of the country. The features of the process are: high pressure, high temperature, the use of dangerous and harmful, toxic chemicals that have a harmful effect on humans.Technical causes of accidents are wear and unreliability of equipment, violation of production discipline. However, there are also organizational causes of accidents, such as poorly organized production control, as well as low level of industrial safety competence of employees.Therefore, it is necessary to carry out measures aimed at improving the reliability of the equipment.The study has also revealed that one of the main technical causes of accidents at oil refining enterprises is the low reliability of technological equipment and violations of production discipline.Conclusion. The paper presents the study on operation of the loading-unloading railway overpass at the oil depot of Bashneft-roznitsa ООО (limited liability company). There have been developed and proposed measures to improve safety during operation of the loading-unloading railway overpass at the oil depot of Bashneft-roznitsa ООО (limited liability company).
