--------------------------
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has released a modernized
standard for fire prevention and safety improvements in refineries, to
be followed by training exercises in August.
The update was built on recommendations from the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
the National Fire Protection Association, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Hazard analysis has been updated at all levels. The update also
includes ways to improve the design of refineries for greater fire
prevention, focusing on drainage processes, site exits for egress,
layout, and spacing of processing units and the location of offsite
facilities. Additionally, new information was released on managing
potential environmental effects caused by firefighting foams and
marine-based firefighting.
