Efficient Applications of Risk Analysis in the Chemical Industry and Emergency Response

Abstract

Despite it is now used in many technical and industrial areas, Risk Analysis is sometimes still considered by many plant managers as a methodology too complex and too time-consuming to be of practical use. Conversely, it will be shown that Risk Analysis can often provide very useful information on the safety of selected industrial activities. Also, the introduction of proper simplifying assumptions can even wider the range of application with great benefit of all stakeholders.
