Dynamic Risk Assessment and Management of Domino Effects and Cascading Events in the Process Industry

Domino effects are the base of cascading events, high-severity low-probability events involving different facilities and compartments, with a strong social impact. There is a strong social requirement to prevent high-severity accidents as those caused by domino scenarios in the framework of cascading events. Safety science has now recognized that dynamic issues need to be included when assessing risk and effectiveness of safety barriers. Dynamic Risk Assessment and Management of Domino Effects and Cascading Events in the Process Industry provides an insight to emerging and state-of-the-art methods for the dynamic assessment of risk and safety barrier performance in framework of domino effect risk management. The book deals with innovative and emerging conceptual models, insights and practical issues concerning the specific topic of domino effects, providing methods and tools to manage the risk of cascading events involving the chemical and process industry. It is a reference for both safety and security managers and industrial risk stakeholders as well for a scientific and practitioner's readership. Laymen might find fascinating the state-of-the-art methods concerning how one can deal with domino effects (large scale accidents) and prevent their propagation.
