The intent of the SARS report is to identify the potential hazards to personnel, equipment, and environment as a result of the Paraho retort facility and to identify actions taken, or to be taken, in the design, construction, and operations phases to eliminate their probability of occurrence, or alleviate their effects if they do occur. Since this project is to be executed in two phases, this first release of the SARS report will address in detail the safety aspects of only the retort module. In addition, it will serve as the preliminary safety and analysis review for the remainder of the facility.
