INTRODUCTION

Quantitative risk analysis (QRA) provides numerical estimates that allow a business to fulfil hazard identification and risk assessment for their operations. A QRA study includes potential releases of hazardous material, its frequency of occurrence and any consequent risks to which people, the business and the environment may be exposed as a result of a company’s activities.

THE Applus+ SOLUTION

Hazard risk assessment is only the first step of the QRA analysis in a comprehensive safety plan. QRA also evaluates both the likelihood and impact of an unplanned event, and therefore allows decisions for hazard and risk management to be made more decisively and cost-effectively.
 
The Applus+ solution takes a phased approach to hazard and risk analysis when carrying out QRA assessments, in which any hazards are first identified and then the potential consequences are modelled. To complete the assessment, we analyse the consequences of the potential harm or damage caused, and estimate the frequency of occurrence and other possible associated hazards or risks.
 
The Applus+ team of highly experienced QRA assessment professionals carry out the QRA study into two main phases:

  1. Preliminary phase: to ensure that the client’s personnel and the relevant authorities fully understand and agree upon the QRA methodology.
  2. Detailed QRA analysis phase: involving in-depth work in the following areas: safety-management system, data collection, hazard identification, frequency estimation, event tree analysis, consequence modelling, risk ranking, risk reduction, ALARP analysis and reporting.

The QRA analysis provided by Applus for hazard and risk identification and control:

  • provides quantitative results, including factoring in uncertainty for tasks and the total project
  • identifies the important contributors to uncertainty, according to task and total project
  • identifies potential risk-reduction actions
  • identifies key boundary conditions
