Methodology for Quantified Risk Assessment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Offshore Risk Assessment vol 2.

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Reliability Engineering ((RELIABILITY))

Abstract

Although risk may be assessed in both a qualitative and quantitative way, this book primarily deals with quantitative methods. Thus qualitative risk assessment and safety review methods are not covered explicitly in this chapter, which provides a brief overview of the methodology for QRA with the main emphasis on the main steps. Further details are presented in the following chapters.
