English abstract
Chemical risk is considered one
of the most frequent risks in the workplace,
affecting the safety of workers continuously
exposed to chemical substances. In addition, it
can have an environmental impact and cause an
explosion when unacceptable conditions are
met. To know the effects of chemical risks and
how to prevent them, this study is proposed, the
main objective of which is the evaluation of
chemical hazards and the proposal of an action
plan to avoid this kind of risk in industrial
companies. Our case study focused on the crude
oil production company " PERTAMINA" using
the SEIRICH software. The results indicate that
most chemicals are hazardous and can cause
serious harm to workers exposed to them
periodically. Therefore, the proposed preventive
action plan for safety improvement aims to
ensure continuous development in oil and gas
field production, processing, and distribution,
taking into account the health and safety of
workers.
