REDUCING INJURIES OF EMPLOYEES INVOLVED IN EXTINGUISHING FIRES IN OIL PRODUCTS BY INTRODUCING ROBOTIC INSTALLATIONS
Today, fire safety is one of the main problems in the concept of industrial safety. The manufacturing sector is quite multifaceted, and is also gaining momentum in its scale and volume. Today, human activity is entirely aimed at generating energy, accumulating and further distributing it. But in specific cases, there is a possibility of the release of this very energy, which contributes to the occurrence of explosions, fires or other emergencies. This type of emergency, as a rule, occurs at potentially hazardous facilities. For example, objects with the presence of flammable or combustible liquids, warehouses with hazardous substances or petrochemical plants. Fires associated with the extraction, transportation or storage of hydrocarbon compounds are considered the most destructive. In connection with the foregoing, in this article, the author made an attempt to scientific analysis and critical reflection on reducing the injury rate of employees involved in extinguishing oil fires by introducing automated devices.
