Note(s) : Accidents in technical installations are random events. Hence they cannot be totally
avoided. Only the probability of their occurrence may be reduced and their consequences
be mitigated. The book proceeds from hazards caused by materials and process conditions
to indicating technical and organizational measures for achieving the objectives of
reduction and mitigation. Qualitative methods for identifying weaknesses of design
and increasing safety as well as models for assessing accident consequences are presented.
The quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of safety measures is explained.
The treatment of uncertainties plays a role there. They stem from the random character
of the accident and from lacks of knowledge on some of the phenomena to be addressed.
The reader is acquainted with the simulation of accidents, safety and risk analyses
and learns how to judge the potential and limitations of mathematical modelling. Risk
analysis is applied amongst others to 'functional safety' and the determination of
'appropriate distances' between industry and residential areas (land-use planning).
This shows how it can be used as a basis for safety-relevant decisions. Numerous worked-out
examples and case studies addressing real plants and situations deepen the understanding
of the subjects treated and support self-study
