European processing industries are doing more and more research on safety for installations presenting a great danger to the vicinity. Some of this research has been made mandatory by the so-called "Post Seveso" directive published by the European community. A study of this sort was carried out for a pipeline carrying liquefied propane from a refinery to two consumer plants about 200 km away. An underground storage facility is situated on the itinerary. The aim of the study is to determine the hazards that the pipeline constitutes for its environment, that is, the probability and gravity of an eventual accident. The procedure followed is now entirely standard for this type of study: (a) definition of the system and its environment, (b) data gathering, (c) identification of the hazards and selection of the major hazards, and (d) analysis of the major hazards, including their probability and gravity.
