| Abstract |
Risk-management and rule-compliance are inter-related strategies for promoting safety in hazardous industries. It is important that risk-management be translated into rule-compliance for end point decision-makers, where possible. This article demonstrates that this is what in fact happens for a wide range of operational decision-making, based on examples from several major accidents in oil refineries. |
