INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT RISK ASSESSMENT
INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT RISK ASSESSMENT

Summary/Abstract: Industrial accidents are a concern for all governments around the world, because it generates every year significant damages and numerous fatalities. They usually occur when the control on technology is lost, affecting directly and indirectly the processes of economic and social development and environmental protection, and thus national security. The issue of this type of accident is becoming more complicated as, on the one hand, existing infrastructures and plants wear out and accentuate vulnerabilities and, on the other hand, technology progresses while security measures do not always keep pace with new risks, dangers and threats. Although we cannot fully avoid industrial accidents, analyzing and assessing risk levels can be an effective method to prevent and minimize their impact.
