Abstract

The classification of emergency situations and hazards encountered in the production, storage, transportation and consumption of gaseous and liquid hydrogen has been suggested. Three groups of major emergency situations have been selected which are characterized by high explosive and fire risk as well as the safety methods  to protect people, equipment and production facilities. The processes accompanying or causing emergency situations have been considered. The most effective safety methods have been analyzed. The results were used in the development of a number of regulations on which basis «The rule book. The safety requirements for the production, storage, transportation and use of liquid hydrogen» is created.
