API 752, 3rd Edition: Changes In Facility Siting Standard

API 752, 3rd Edition: Changes In Facility Siting Standard

The third edition of API 752, “Management of Hazards Associated with Permanent Buidlings” came out in late 2009 and there are a few major revisions to consider.

  1. Building Occupancy: If a building is occupied, clearly it has to be evaluated. However, according to the new standard if a building is “intended for occupancy”, it must be included in the facility siting study.
  2. MOC: The new edition of the API 752 standard requires facilities to use a Management of Change (MOC) process for changes associated with a buidling. For example, if the number of people increase or a buidling designation changes from “not intended for occupancy” to “intended for occupancy”
  3. Blast Modeling: According to the revised standard, blast modeling has to include a detailed structural analysis to evaluate impact of explosion overpressure on building.

About Sanjeev Saraf

Reduce risks, Increase Uptime, Reduce costs

I did my first litigation support work in 2000.

Since then I have been obsessed with preventing future failures. Some of these failures can have catastrophic consequences.

Having tried various techniques, learning / unlearning “latest” paradigms, it is clear we have a long way to go!

But instead of thoughtful work, what I mostly see are platitudes and oversimplifications. No keen practical insights!

I want to change that.

    Navigating the revisions in API 752 is like choosing a suitable phone case. It’s about more than fitting but understanding the unique needs. Whether a building is “occupied” or “intended for occupancy” is as crucial as selecting a case that complements your phone’s design, and adopting a Management of Change process is like ensuring your phone’s protective cover adapts seamlessly to any alterations.
