TL;DR: There is an increasing trend by regulatory authorities for the introduction of the as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) approach in dealing with risk management of proposed or existing complex hazardous systems, but there are a number of areas of concern about the validity of this approach.

TL;DR: This report presents a review of risk characterisation, the final step in risk assessment of exposures to food chemicals, and describes good evaluation practice as an organisational process and the necessary condition under which risk Assessment of chemicals should be planned, performed, scrutinised and reported.

TL;DR: According to the risk analysis presented in this paper, both the individual and the societal risk level associated with LNG carrier operations lie within the As Low As Reasonable Practicable (ALARP) area, meaning that further risk reduction should be required only if available cost-effective risk control options could be identified.

TL;DR: Probabilistic risk analysis (PRA), also called quantitative risk analysis or probabilistic safety analysis (PSA), is currently being widely applied to many sectors, including transport, construction, energy, chemical processing, aerospace, the military, and even to project planning and financial management.
Abstract: Probabilistic risk analysis (PRA), also called quantitative risk analysis (QRA) or probabilistic safety analysis (PSA), is currently being widely applied to many sectors, including transport, construction, energy, chemical processing, aerospace, the military, and even to project planning and financial management. In many of these areas PRA techniques have been adopted as part of the regulatory framework by relevant authorities. In other areas the analytic PRA methodology is increasingly applied to validate claims for safety or to demonstrate the need for further improvement. The trend in all areas is for PRA to support tools for management decision making, forming the new area of risk management . Since PRA tools are becoming ever more widely applied, and are growing in sophistication, one of the aims of this book is to introduce the reader to the main tools used in PRA, and in particular to some of the more recent developments in PRA modeling. Another important aim, though, is to give the reader a good understanding of uncertainty and the extent to which it can be modeled mathematically by using probability. We believe that it is of critical importance not just to understand the mechanics of the techniques involved in PRA, but also to understand the foundations of the subject in order to judge the limitations of the various techniques available. The most important part of the foundations is the study of uncertainty. What do we mean by uncertainty? How might we quantify it?
