This chapter is aimed at introducing a structured approach to support the probabilistic assessment of domino effects accounting for the influence of harsh environmental conditions on safety barriers. A specific metric is defined to consider the external factors related to harsh environment on the assessment of safety barriers availability and efficiency. The method proposed addresses both hardware barriers (active and passive systems) and emergency response strategies. The approach is exemplified by its application to two case studies, aimed at the assessment of the influence of harsh environmental conditions on the risk due to cascading events, respectively, in onshore and offshore industrial facilities.

Abstract

This chapter is aimed at introducing a structured approach to support the probabilistic assessment of domino effects accounting for the influence of harsh environmental conditions on safety barriers. A specific metric is defined to consider the external factors related to harsh environment on the assessment of safety barriers availability and efficiency. The method proposed addresses both hardware barriers (active and passive systems) and emergency response strategies. The approach is exemplified by its application to two case studies, aimed at the assessment of the influence of harsh environmental conditions on the risk due to cascading events, respectively, in onshore and offshore industrial facilities.
