Emergency response management native model to reduce environmental impacts using by analytic hierarchy process (AHP)

Oil&petrochemical industry normally uses the large storage tanks, which contain considerable volumes of flammable and hazardous chemicals. Thus, the occurrence of a tank accident is possible and usually leads to fire and explosions. Major industrial accidents can have very dangerous environmental and health consequences. One of the mitigation accident effects implication of Emergency Response Management in the Industries. Emergency Response Management (ERM) enables and supports emergency response operations across organizational, jurisdictional, and geographical boundaries. Emergency response management guidelines which mostly consist of four parts include prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. The paper reviews the existing emergency management patterns (ISO 15544, CCPS, NFPA 1600, DEP, and OSHA 3022) to find an emphasis on identifying and reducing environmental impacts was examined based on five international guidelines. The common elements of these five international guidelines were determined. A questionnaire containing the information was designed and distributed between experts to give their answers as the best native model. The information gathered through questionnaires was analyzed by Expert choose software and the results was priorities with Analytical Hierarchy Process Method (AHP), in four phases of prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. The results shows that the CCPS guideline is a best models and suitable for Emergency management in Iran Oil & Petrochemical Plants with an approach to environment priorities
