Industrial development is essential to improvement of the standard
of living in all countries. People's health and the environment can
be affected, directly or indirectly by routine waste discharges or
by accidents. A series of recent major industrial accidents and the
effect of pollution highlighted, once again, the need for better
management of routine and accidental risks. Moreover, the existence
of natural hazards complicate even more the situation in any given
region. In the past effort to cope with these risks, if made at
all, have been largely on a plant by plant basis; some plants are
well equipped to manage environmental and health hazards, while
others are not. Managing the hazards of modern technological
systems has become a key activity in highly industrialised
countries. Decision makers are often confronted with complex issues
concerning economic and social development, industrialisation and
associated infrastructure needs, population and land use planning.
Such issues have to be addressed in such a way that ensures that
public health will not be disrupted or substantially degraded. Due
to the increasing complexity of technological systems and the
higher geographical density of punctual hazard sources, new
methodologies and a novel approach to these problems are
challenging risk managers and regional planers. Risks from these
new complex technological systems are inherently different form
those addressed by the risk managers for decades ago.
