Abstract
From time in all industrialised countries attention is focused on the risks due to major accidents in storage, production and transportation of dangerous chemicals. In Italy too, and specifically at the University of Bologna, relevant work has been performed in the field of risk analysis. The chief aim of the researches done in the past years has been the development of detailed techniques for the calculation of specific risk measures, implemented in user-friendly software codes. In this paper the main features of these tools will be presented, particularly highlighting the application field of each of them and the support they can give to decision-makers in risk management.
