4 Conclusion
Risk assessment made for TDI storage and handling area by using ALOHA software
and FMEA technique, respectively, and we concluded that any accidental rupture
of TDI barrel lead to spillage of TDI at storage area not a level of concern for
residential colony located at 5000 m away from the plant site. At TDI handling area,
risk assessment is carried out for each component through FMEA technique and
concluded that by applying suitable safeguards, spillage of TDI can be avoided. If
spillage occurs, engineering control like local exhaust ventilation can be adopted to
control the TDI exposure levels to the below the permissable exposure level.
