Risk-based evaluation techniques offer a more comprehensive approach for companies that need reliable guidance to correctly assess costs and benefits from loss control measures.

In this newsletter, you'll find an excerpt from a white paper by Neil Prophet and Marcel Amorós Martí on best practices for evaluating 3 hazards in a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) study:

  • The first section of the manuscript addresses human vulnerability from explosions.
  • The second section addresses the human vulnerability, domino effect, and escalation from fires.
  • Finally, in the third section only human vulnerability due to toxic dispersions is addressed; i.e., there is no potential for domino effect triggered by toxic clouds.

Bonus!

This newsletter also includes a 25-minute step-by-step video demonstration by Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, on Master Explosion Dynamics with SuperChems™. His presentation includes case studies of how explosion dynamics are applied and how the burning rate models are developed from measured data.

A QRA is an invaluable method for making informed risk-based process safety planning decisions, as well as being fundamental to any facility siting decision-making.

Have a great and safe day.
