Who is Afraid of Risk Criteria?
Abstract
In recent years risk analyses using numerical probability estimates and consequence forecasts for accidental events have become a widely accepted technique for dealing with safety problems in the explosives industry. Considerable effort is put into acquiring data for the technical part of such analyses. When it comes to discuss the acceptability of the numerical risk estimates, differing opinions and even confusion can be observed. This paper presents proposals for numericals risk criteria and their background.
