Chemical process quantitative risk analysis (CPQRA) as applied to
the CPI was first fully described in the first edition of this CCPS
Guidelines book. This second edition is packed with information
reflecting advances in this evolving methodology, and includes
worked examples on a CD-ROM. CPQRA is used to identify incident
scenarios and evaluate their risk by defining the probability of
failure, the various consequences and the potential impact of those
consequences. It is an invaluable methodology to evaluate these
when qualitative analysis cannot provide adequate understanding and
when more information is needed for risk management. This technique
provides a means to evaluate acute hazards and alternative risk
reduction strategies, and identify areas for cost-effective risk
reduction. There are no simple answers when complex issues are
concerned, but CPQRA2 offers a cogent, well-illustrated guide to
applying these risk-analysis techniques, particularly to risk
control studies.
