Introduces risk assessment with key theories, proven methods, and
state-of-the-art applications Risk Assessment: Theory, Methods, and
Applications remains one of the few textbooks to address current
risk analysis and risk assessment with an emphasis on the
possibility of sudden, major accidents across various areas of
practice--from machinery and manufacturing processes to nuclear
power plants and transportation systems. Updated to align with ISO
31000 and other amended standards, this all-new 2nd Edition
discusses the main ideas and techniques for assessing risk today.
The book begins with an introduction of risk analysis, assessment,
and management, and includes a new section on the history of risk
analysis. It covers hazards and threats, how to measure and
evaluate risk, and risk management. It also adds new sections on
risk governance and risk-informed decision making; combining
accident theories and criteria for evaluating data sources; and
subjective probabilities. The risk assessment process is covered,
as are how to establish context; planning and preparing; and
identification, analysis, and evaluation of risk. Risk Assessment
also offers new coverage of safe job analysis and semi-quantitative
methods, and it discusses barrier management and HRA methods for
offshore application. Finally, it looks at dynamic risk analysis,
security and life-cycle use of risk. Serves as a practical and
modern guide to the current applications of risk analysis and
assessment, supports key standards, and supplements legislation
related to risk analysis Updated and revised to align with ISO
31000 Risk Management and other new standards and includes new
chapters on security, dynamic risk analysis, as well as life-cycle
use of risk analysis Provides in-depth coverage on hazard
identification, methodologically outlining the steps for use of
checklists, conducting preliminary hazard analysis, and job safety
analysis Presents new coverage on the history of risk analysis,
criteria for evaluating data sources, risk-informed decision
making, subjective probabilities, semi-quantitative methods, and
barrier management Contains more applications and examples, new and
revised problems throughout, and detailed appendices that outline
key terms and acronyms Supplemented with a book companion website
containing Solutions to problems, presentation material and an
Instructor Manual Risk Assessment: Theory, Methods, and
Applications, Second Edition is ideal for courses on risk
analysis/risk assessment and systems engineering at the
upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also an excellent
reference and resource for engineers, researchers, consultants, and
practitioners who carry out risk assessment techniques in their
everyday work.
