Inhaltsangabe

Dynamic Risk Assessment and Management of Domino Effects and Cascading Events in the Process Industry provides insights into emerging and state-of-the-art methods for the dynamic assessment of risk and safety barrier performance in the framework of domino effect risk management. The book presents methods and tools to manage the risk of cascading events involving the chemical and process industry. It is an ideal reference for both safety and security managers, industrial risk stakeholders, scientists and practitioners. In addition, laymen may find the state-of-the-art methods concerning domino effects (large-scale accidents) and how to prevent their propagation an interesting topic of study.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Valerio Cozzani (1968) received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Pisa (Italy) in 1996. During the Ph.D. he spent an year at the Industrial Hazard Unit (IPSC) of the Ispra European Community Joint Research Centre. After the Ph.D. he joined the National Research Group on Chemical and Environmental Risk of the Italian National Council of Research. Formerly lecturer at the University of Pisa, he is now professor at the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering of Bologna University, where he leads the Laboratory on Industrial Safety and Environmental Sustainability. He is Director of the academic graduate and undergraduate programs in Chemical Engineering an lectures on unit operations, design, loss prevention and risk assessment. He coordinated several joint university-industry training projects. His main research experience is in the field of safety of chemical processes and of environmental and energy technologies. The specific subjects afforded in his research activity are, among others, the development of innovative methodologies and models for hazard and risk analysis, the development of models for equipment damage and the implementation of procedures for the quantitative assessment of accidental scenarios triggered by external hazard factors. He has a wide experience in leading national and international research projects funded either by public organizations or by private companies. He coordinates the Italian working party on safety in the chemical and process industry (CISAP) and is Member of the Working Party of Loss Prevention (EFCE). He received the Trevor Kletz Merit Award 2015 for outstanding contributions to the field of Process Safety. He serves as Associate Editor of Safety Science and is a member of the Editorial Boards of the Journal of Hazardous Materials and of the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industry.

Genserik Reniers works at the Universita di Bologna, DICAM in the Laboratory for Industrial Safety and Environmental Sustainability, Bologna in Italy.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.
