Opis

This text gives a detailed description of practical risk and safety analysis methods, tried and tested in over 100 process industry projects. The aim is to provide the methods and data needed by practicing safety engineers, as well as practical advice on how to use them. Subjects covered are risk acceptability, hazard identification methods, probability and frequency calculation, human error, failure rate data, fire explosion and gas dispersion, emergency action, integrated risk analysis and safety management. Road and ship transport, risk analysis methods and environmental risk analysis, are special topics covered. Several of the methods described have been developed in order to solve special problems, such as identifying operator errors and assessing emergency plans.
