A Hazard and operability study of anhydrous ammonia application in agriculture / Amy Beasley Spencer, Michael G. Gressel
Sumario: Researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) applied hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis to examine hazards during the use of anhydrous ammonia by farmers. This analysis evaluated the storage, transfer, and application of anhydrous ammonia, identifying credible hazard scenarios, practical solutions, and research needs. Several examples of the findings are given to emphasize the HAZOP technique and the high-risk scenarios. Strategies for dissemination to the agricultural community are presented
