Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe the QRA system developed by the Explosives Storage and Transport Committee of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence and give examples of its practical application. It will be argued that QRA should be used with conventional Q-D rule based regulation to achieve efficient and cost-effective management of explosives safety.
