Offshore Risk Assessment is the first book to deal with quantified
risk assessment (QRA) as applied specifically to offshore
installations and operations. Risk assessment techniques have been
used for some years in the offshore oil and gas industry, and their
use is set to expand increasingly as the industry moves into new areas
and faces new challenges in older regions. The book starts with a
thorough discussion of risk analysis methodology. Subsequent chapters
are devoted to analytical approaches to escalation, escape, evacuation
and rescue analysis of safety and emergency systems. Separate chapters
analyze the main hazards of offshore structures: Fire, explosion,
collision and falling objects. Risk mitigation and control are then
discussed, followed by an outline of an alternative approach to risk
modelling that focuses especially on the risk of short-duration
activities. Not only does the book describe the state of the art of
QRA, it also identifies weaknesses and areas that need development.
Readership: Besides being a comprehensive reference for academics and
students of marine/offshore risk assessment and management, the book
should also be owned by professionals in the industry, contractors,
suppliers, consultants and regulatory authorities.
