Abstract
This paper deals with setting up a system of safety regulations and crisis management at Synthomer plc, in Sokolov, the Czech Republic, with regard to a potential leak of a hazardous substance (propylene) from the warehouse of a chemical company. The program ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) was used to describe two realistic operating variants of a massive propylene leak, which predict the consequences of an accident for the immediate vicinity of the chemical plant. The modelling result subsequently verifies the software tool's hypothesis as an effective addition to modern crisis management. This analysis and research demonstrate that the program for predicting emergency situations is an effective tool in crisis management and planning to prevent emergency events in the chemical industry.
Keywords
Aloha program, Crisis situation modelling, Hazardous substance leakage, Propylene, Warehouse management.
