Quantitative risk assessments cannot eliminate risk, nor can they
resolve trade-offs. They can, however, guide principled risk
management and reduction - if the quality of assessment is high and
decision makers understand how to use it. This book builds a
unifying scientific framework for discussing and evaluating the
quality of risk assessments and whether they are fit for purpose.
Uncertainty is a central topic. In practice, uncertainties about
inputs are rarely reflected in assessments, with the result that
many safety measures are considered unjustified. Other topics
include the meaning of a probability, the use of probability
models, the use of Bayesian ideas and techniques, and the use of
risk assessment in a practical decision-making context. Written for
professionals, as well as graduate students and researchers, the
book assumes basic probability, statistics and risk assessment
methods. Examples make concepts concrete, and three extended case
studies show the scientific framework in action.
