Abstract :
This study aims to identify and assess the risks of the waste-burning furnace of the resin production factory in Takistan City, Qazvin province. Hence, Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) was used to identify possible risks and assess the risk's criticality. Then, based on the identified risks, a scenario was defined for the consequences of the selected scenario and analyzed using PHAST software. Accordingly, 15 risks were identified, of which 4 of them including the risks of Respiratory diseases caused by gas inhalation, poisoning due to working with chemical waste, explosion due to gas leakage and personnel health threaten due to leakage from chemical waste storage tanks were the most critical risks. On the other hand, carelessness in transportation, equipment use, falling parts, and noise pollution had the lowest risk. The consequences modeling of the selected scenario indicated that releasing the leaking material, spreads up to a height of 46 meters in the first seconds and affects a radius of more than 1.519.23 km2 with a concentration of 1 ppm. It is suggested that the risks associated with the waste incineration furnace is identified and evaluated annually, and its control and management approaches are included in the list of factory rules
