AcuSafe - Quantitative Risk Assessment Talks and Papers

	Hazardous Materials Transportation Risk Analysis : Quantitative Approaches for Truck and Train by William R. Rhyne (December 1997) (Link) Explains quantitative risk analysis and how it can be applied to the surface transportation of hazardous material, including such factors as the accident rate, the distribution of accident force magnitude, the probability of container risk, risk analysis methodologies, and data uncertainties. Consequence analysis is discussed from such perspectives as release rates and amounts, dispersion, toxic effects, and exposed populations. Includes a sustained example of transporting bulk chlorine by truck and train. Of interest to managers who ship or receive toxic material, transportation officials, emergency planners, and others.
	Risk Analysis: A Quantitative Guide by David Vose (December 5, 2000) (Link) This book provides the basic information necessary for a simple risk analysis model as well as in-depth modeling techniques for more complicated problems. It concentrates on the accuracy of risk modeling rather than the management of risk analysis, and provides a comprehensive guide to the modeling of uncertainty using spreadsheets and Monte Carlo software on standard PCs. It also includes sufficient probability and statistics theory for concise risk analysis.
	Evaluating Process Safety in the Chemical Industry : A Manager's Guide to Quantitative Risk Assessment by J. S. Arendt (Editor), Chemical Manufactures Association, CCPS, Lorenzo (December 2000) (Link)

A Risk-Based Approach to Process Risk Management
AcuTech's David Moore was the featured speaker at the Bakersfield, California, chapter meeting of the American Society of Safety Engineers on August 5, 1999. The presentation explained the merits of developing a risk-based decision-making process within a company to assist management in making challenging risk decisions with a more solid basis. Progressive companies are realizing the value of better defining the risks and in making more informed decisions on the need for additional risk reduction measures using modern risk assessment methods.
