SAFETYNET is a European Thematic Network on Process Safety funded under the Brite-Euram Programme. The aim of this network is to reduce the time delay between research results and their practical use in industry in order to stimulate further development and adoption of technologies in the field of process safety. This is mainly done in areas related both to the safe operation of process plants and production facilities and to the prevention of accidents.
As it is conventionally done, strategies for incorporating accident--prevention measures in any hazardous chemical process industry are developed on the basis of input from risk assessment. However, the two steps-- risk assessment and hazard reduction (or safety) measures--are not linked interactively in the existing methodologies. This prevents a quantitative assessment of the impacts of safety measures on risk control. We have made an attempt to develop a methodology in which risk assessment steps are interactively linked with implementation of safety measures. The resultant system tells us the extent of reduction of risk by each successive safety measure. It also tells based on sophisticated maximum credible accident analysis (MCAA) and probabilistic fault tree analysis (PFTA) whether a given unit can ever be made 'safe'. The application of the methodology has been illustrated with a case study.
