A questionnaire was designed and used based on HSE-MS and OGP standard for providing an emergency response plan. Validity index: CVR: 0.83, CVI: 0.98. Cronbach's alpha was adopted to test reliability α:0.88 for ERP questionnaire and α:0.93 for knowledge questionnaire, both reliability and validity were acceptable. Risk assessment was performed by the FMEA method, and the result was analyzed.  Findings Questionnaire analysis showed that 73% frequency of response was yes, which can be acceptable. Also, the system failure point based on the questionnaire was determined by determining severity, frequency, and detection probability, 436 activity was evaluated. The result showed that 28 of the risk with a priority number of over 300 and 58 risks were above the risk level of 150 and 13 risks were risky at a critical level. (two risk factor higher than 6). Conclusion Noncompliance cases were in the design and planning scenarios of emergency and relief and rescue instruction. Therefore training program and operational maneuvers for ammonia chamber room, CIP+CBH chemical storage depot and boiler had a high priority for the highest risk program indicators.
