The use of Quantitative Risk Assessment as an integral part of Process Safety Management has been steadily increasing in the last several decades. Efforts have been made by AIChE-CCPS (via the publication of "Guidelines for Chemical Process Quantitative Risk Analysis, 2nd edition" and "Guidelines for Developing Safety Risk Criteria") to encourage use of this methodology. Papers and presentations on (a) the practical use of QRA, (b) the establishment of useful criteria for prioritizing risks and for making informed risk-based decisions, (c) the introduction of QRA into existing PSM systems, and (d) other related topics are encouraged.
