Fire safety measures

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

 

Bulagro AD is a commercial structure oriented towards satisfaction of the needs of the agricultural producers on the territory of the whole country.

The company has nine trade centers in Bulgaria.

An element of the commercial structure of the company is the warehouse for plant protection products in the city of Nova Zagora. Several special buildings have been built on the territory of the warehouse. They store plant protection products - liquid, solid, powder and aerosol, in various packages and volumes of danger, which are subject to control under the Environmental Protection Act and the Ordinance on the prevention of major accidents with hazardous substances and to limit of the consequences of them. According to the above two regulations, you will be informed about these stored substances and the potential danger of them in a major accident.

However, let's first clarify:

By industrial accident we mean one in which, as a result of the release of hazardous substances or other hazards, there may be a danger to humans and the environment. This is possible only when all our technical and organizational measures that must prevent the accident fail at the same time. The probability of being affected by such an event is extremely small.

Our main goal is to prevent this completely by constantly monitoring the security systems. So your and our security are our constant concern! If, however, despite all security measures, a major accident occurs, then this information will give you the necessary guidelines and instructions on how to behave.

 

 

The warehouses for storage of preparations - chemical substances, consist of separate cells, as the substances are stored according to the Ordinance for the order and the way of storage of chemical substances and mixtures and the Ordinance for joint storage of substances and materials. Storage cells for storage of preparations are secured against possible spillage, technical means are provided to limit spills and the necessary sorbents. The warehouses are marked with signs with the categories of danger of chemical substances. Tightly closed and well-ventilated rooms, away from sources of ignition with a storage temperature of + 15 ° C to 25 ° C.

 

 The design maximum capacity of all warehouses is a total of 476.4 tons.

 

 PPPs, of which:

 

 3.1 items of PPP classified in category P5c + E; Flammable liquids

 

100.3 items of PPP classified in category E1; Dangerous for the aquatic environment

 

167 PPP items classified with category E2; Dangerous for the aquatic environment

 

206 items of PPP are not hazardous preparations that do not fall within the scope of Annex 3 of the EPA.

 

It should be borne in mind that the maximum quantities of preparations used are design and can practically never be reached during storage.

 

 

More than 200 types of substances are periodically stored in the warehouses. The active substances of some of them can have negative effects on the environment and human health.

 

These are usually:

 

 

Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause irritation and dermatitis.

 

Security hazards:

 

Highly flammable. Forms flammable or explosive vapors when heated.

 

Toxic to living organisms in aquatic environment. May cause adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

 

Detailed information on the specific hazards to human health and the environment can be found in the safety data sheets of each of the products on the Internet.

 

 

Accidents are unlikely to occur because storage facilities for hazardous substances are equipped, operated, continuously inspected and retrofitted to safety standards.

Accidents involving destruction and casualties are possible.

Regardless of the preventive measures, in case of gross violation of the technological regime, improper operation, strong earthquakes, fires and other causes, a major accident is possible, as a result of which a large amount of detergent - liquid or powder - will leak. Climatic conditions can affect neighboring sites, nature and people nearby.
