Practical risk analysis for safety management
Abstract
This report describes a practical risk analysis system which can be used for the quantitative characterization of risks and for the evaluation of proposed risk reduction procedures. The system uses numerical values for comparison purposes and provides descriptive terms that are meaningful to personnel in safety, operations, and management. The analysis functions are performed either algebraically or graphically on nomographs provided in the report.
