Abstract

The availability of liquified petroleum gas (LPG) is especially critical for commercial and residential users. A risk assessment framework has been established to track risk scenarios and to address the level of disruptions on the priority orders of initiatives under the influences of scenarios. It demonstrated in an LPG facility in the State of Kuwait with 17 emergent conditions, 3 scenarios, 15 initiatives, and 4 evaluation criteria. The shutting down of one centre and the shutting down of two centres were the most disruptive scenarios. The highest ranked initiatives are: Increasing the number of workers for inspection, having random weekly inspections, and having monthly maintenance, respectively. However, these initiatives are the least robust to disruptive scenarios' impact. The initiative, raising customers' awareness of how to safely use LPG cylinders, has the least priority ranking order but is the most robust initiative to the influence of scenarios.
