The paper presents a method for the quantification of the effects of measures of risk prevention or mitigation on the frequencies of rupture of pipework. Some methodologies are given in the literature to this purpose; they however assume that each plant under analysis is characterized by the same combinations of failure causes and prevention mechanisms and this assumption is not always true. The approach suggested in this paper is based on the methodology proposed by Papazoglou (1999) for the quantification of the effects of the organizational and managerial factors. Taking advantage of such methodology the objective has been achieved through the definition of the ties between the failure causes that are the origin of incidents and the measures adopted from the company in order to prevent and/or to mitigate them.

Abstract

The paper presents a method for the quantification of the effects of measures of risk prevention or mitigation on the frequencies of rupture of pipework. Some methodologies are given in the literature to this purpose; they however assume that each plant under analysis is characterized by the same combinations of failure causes and prevention mechanisms and this assumption is not always true. The approach suggested in this paper is based on the methodology proposed by Papazoglou (1999) for the quantification of the effects of the organizational and managerial factors. Taking advantage of such methodology the objective has been achieved through the definition of the ties between the failure causes that are the origin of incidents and the measures adopted from the company in order to prevent and/or to mitigate them.
