Topic: Risk-Based Versus Consequence-Based Approaches on Facility Siting Study

Abstract: Abstract: When occupied buildings are located near process facilities, the occupants can be exposed to effects of potential hazards, such as fire, explosion, and toxic materials. In order to determine the safe location of an occupied building, it is essential to define what is meant by safe. The term safe is very much related to risk, which is treated as the inverse of safe. The question of "How safe is safe for the occupants?" really means, "How much risk is acceptable for the occupants?" Dyadem's Silva will present a paper that analyzes both risk-based and consequence-based approaches to locating facilities.

The Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center was established in 1995 through the generosity of Houston businessman T. Michael O'Connor.
