Abstract:A procedure of whole-process environmental risk assessment and management (WERAM) was proposed for assessing accidental industrial risks, based on the conceptions of “whole-process management” and “prioritized management”. The procedure consists of risk source identification, vulnerability assessment, risk characterization, prioritization of emergency control methods and post-evaluation of losses caused by accidents. A case study was carried out in a chemical industry park in China. Firstly, a bow-tie was established for “vessel collapse” of a tank containing nitrobenzene, identifying key stones of safety management and emergency response. Secondly, geographic information system (GIS) was applied to reveal spatial heterogeneity of residents’ vulnerability to surface water source pollution. The results provide not only instructions for building up risk targets’ resistance, but also decision supports for emergency response to accidents polluting surface water source.
