Project Research an organization that had a major emergency that resulted in loss of life and property damage and submit for approval. This emergency scenario will be used as for your project. Use your emergency scenario to conduct a risk assessment to determine the type of hazards involved. Evaluate the hazards and determine the factors that were responsible for the situation. Detail your findings of the emergency, the type of hazards involved and determine the factors that were responsible for the emergency. Develop an evacuation plan for the scenario. Research paper should be no more than 4 pages.

EMERGENCY SCENARIO AND EVACUATION PLAN

Introduction
A power plant (Kleen Energy Systems Plant) in Connecticut exploded on 7th February, 2010 with
an earthquake-like force that was felt across a majority of the state which was coincidentally in line with
the preparation for the plant to open later that year. A section of the plant exploded and at least five
people died and many others injured as the section burned to the ground. From eye witnesses, the Kleen
Energy Systems plant explosion occurred at around twenty minutes past 11 in the morning which saw a
blast convulsion of flames and smoke which was seen miles around the plant and its effects felt as far as
towns around 30 miles away. The roads leading to the explosion site were filled with firefighters and
rescue equipment with fire flames seen coming from a pipeline after the explosion which was soon after
capped, according to officials. The then mayor Mr. Giuliano said that the number of victims was not clear
due to the fluctuation of workers at the plant due to the high number of subcontractors involved in the
construction (McFadden, 2010).
Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is carried out to ascertain whether any threats that an organization faces can lead
to any form of loss of life or property. An effective evaluation enables pinpointing of the potential dangers,
items at risk, vulnerabilities, and the level of potential impacts. The outcomes of a risk assessment show
a probability representation of potential outcomes from the expected to the least expected or worst-case
scenario. The whole exercise is determined by the resources available, stakeholders, competency of the
involved personnel, analysis, and research (Gislason, 2018).
The first step of the risk assessment of the Kleen Energy System Plant explosion is identifying all
the fire hazards. It includes identifying the potential sources of ignition. These are the sources that in case
they are heated up enough could create a fire which can lead to an accident such as the one at Kleen
Energy plant. For the case of the explosion it was reported that some workers were purging natural gas
from a pipeline as a test. This process helps identify the potential areas that are susceptible to fire in case
of any ignition ...
