| Abstract |
Quantative Risk Assessment, (QRA) methodology for onshore process plants was studied and compared with accident experience, as drawn from accident databases (MHIDAS, MARS and the Institution of Chemical Engineers Accident Database) and accident theory. The analyses of accident databases indicate that the proportion of accidents occurring when the plant is in some abnormal state may be 40 per cent or more. Maintenance appears to be a particularly important abnormal state. The report and the work it describes were jointly funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV). Its contents, including any opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the suthors alone and do not necessarily reflect the policy of either HSE or DNV. |
