| Abstract |
A review on the problems with the identification of hazards and assessing the risks is first presented. Special emphasis is given to the critical evaluation of the problems with the gas dispersion modelling. Ideas and attempts for avoiding the existing problems and for improving the cost/benefit relation of safety analysis are then discussed. These include the use of computer support and knowledge engineering, validation of methods and models, analysis of human and organisational factors, and evaluation of the quality of safety analysis. Finally, the European legislation concerning safety analysis is shortly discussed. |
