5.0                        HAZARD TO LIFE

5.1                        Introduction

 

5.1.1.1             As the flight paths of the helicopter are close to the airspace above the LPG Filling station and the Kerry Dangerous Goods Warehouse (Kowloon Bay) (KDGW). Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) has been conducted with the objective of identifying potential hazards involved during the construction and operation phase of the helipad. QRA was conducted to evaluate the risk associated with the proposed helipad at the Acute Hospital. The risk, both in terms of individual risk and societal risk, has been found to be in compliance with the risk criteria stipulated in Section 2 of Annex 4 of the TM-EIAO.

5.2                        Mitigation Measures

 

5.2.1.1             Mitigation measures for risk includes providing professional trainings and guidelines to the helicopter pilots in order to ensure the pilots be familiar with the procedures to avoid approaching near the smoke plume in event of a major fire accident at KDGW.

5.2.1.2             Since both individual risk and societal risk posed by the proposed helipad at Acute Hospital meet the criteria of Hong Kong Risk Guidelines, no further mitigation measures are required.

5.3                        Audit Requirements

 

5.3.1.1             No monitoring or audit is considered necessary for construction phase or operation phase.
