The document discusses using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) as a risk management tool for hazardous waste control in the oil refining industry. It provides background on risk assessment, risk management standards, and qualitative and quantitative risk analysis methods. It then describes FMEA scales for rating the severity, occurrence, and detection of risks. The FMEA would be used to analyze hazardous wastes from oil refining, calculate priority risk numbers, and inform regulatory activities and managerial decision-making.

3. Risk and risk-management Risk is: the quantifiable likelihood of loss or less-than-expected returns. (The InvestorWords Glossary) the probable frequency and probable magnitude of future loss. (An Introduction to Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR)) a combination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event or exposure and the severity of injury or ill health that can be caused by the event or exposure. (OHSAS 18001) Risk management is: the identification, assessment, and prioritization of followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. (ISO 31000)
4. Qualitative risk analysis 1. Analysis of available information review and analysis of accounting and management documents; the analysis of periodic reports. 2. Collecting new information a standardized questionnaire; personalized inspection of production units; expert consultation (internal & external). 3. Modelling the organizations activity the compilation and analysis of the organizational structure; the analysis of stream-maps. 4. Heuristic methods
5. Quantitative risk analysis 1. Analytical methods the sensitivity analysis; the scenario analysis. 2. Probability-theoretical methods the statistical methods; the simulation; the fault-three analysis; the logical and probabilistic methods. 3. Heuristic methods of quantitative analysis 4. Unconventional methods the artificial intelligence (neural networks); modeling based on fuzzy logic.

9. Adopted FMEA scales Modified Severity rating Scale (S) Priority risk number (PRN)=S*O*D Rating Description Definition (Severity of Effect) 10 Particularly large-scale damage (More than 30000 $) The consequences are connected with the global ecological disaster and/or the loss of human lives 2 Insignificant damage ( Less than 3 000 $) The consequences have insignificant impact on the environment of companys affected zone. It is possible to eliminate the consequences. 1 Absent of damage There is no significant impact.
10. Adopted FMEA scales Modified Occurrence rating Scale (O) Priority risk number (PRN)=S*O*D Occurrence rate Description Rating Extremely high: failure is inevitable 0,1 10 Relatively few failures 0,0001 2 The failure is unlikely 0,00 0 01 1
11. Adopted FMEA scales Modified Detection and Eliminating rating Scale (D) Priority risk number (PRN)=S*O*D Description Definition Rating Impossible It is impossible to detect and/or eliminate the failure 10 Very good The control will detect and/or eliminate the failure almost for sure 2 Perfect Control will detect and/or eliminate the failure for sure 1
