The LASTFIRE (Large Atmospheric Storage Tanks) Project was conceived in the late 1990s by a consortium of 16 oil companies. The original aim of the project was to review the risks associated with large diameter (greater than 40 m) open top floating roof storage tanks. The project was initiated due to the recognition by the oil and petrochemical industries that the fire hazards associated with large diameter open top floating roof tanks were insufficiently understood to be able to develop fully justified site specific fire response and risk reduction policies. A true Fire Hazard Management (FHM) approach to reducing the fire associated risk to as low as is reasonably practicable was adopted during the project. This is in line with regulatory trends towards preparation of “Safety Cases" whereby all aspects of risk mitigation including incident prevention are reviewed.
