severity of consequence likelihood
QRA Terms & Definitions
Peter van Gorp page 3
A measure of human injury, environmental damage or economic loss in terms of both the incident likelihood and the
magnitude of the loss or injury
Hazard / Hazardous Event a chemical or physical condition with potential to cause harm to people, asset / property,
or the environment
Consequence harm (i.e. physical injury, health damage. asset or environmental damage) resulting from a
hazardous event
QRA Terms & Definitions
Peter van Gorp page 4
Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)
a systematic process, using mathematical methods, to estimate the consequences and likelihood of
hazardous events and evaluate quantitatively the effects in terms of numerical values of risk to people, asset,
or environment.
a key tool applied in risk based safety management
can provide a basis for emergency preparedness and land use planning
QRA Terms & Definitions
Peter van Gorp page 5
Risk Indicators commonly used to express the risk level
Individual Risk risk to an individual located in the vicinity of a hazard which takes into account his/her occupancy
or work pattern within the vicinity of the prescribed hazard (expressed in terms of risk of fatality per year)
Location Specific Individual Risk risk to an individual at a specific geographic location in the vicinity of a hazard
who is exposed continuously to the hazard. Commonly used in land use planning criteria for fatality or injury
(expressed in terms of risk per year)
Societal Risk risk to a group of people located in the vicinity of a hazard. It is commonly expressed in terms of the
frequency of multiple fatalities per year.

As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) Principle

shall be as low as reasonably

Risk reduction
measures are essential
& required regardless
of costs
A level of risk that is tolerable
and cannot be reduced further
without expenditure of costs
that are disproportionate to
the benefit gained or where
the solution is impractical to
implement
Ideal Level of Risks - Risks are
negligible or so low that can be
managed by routine
procedures and additional
measures are not needed

QRA Methodology Hazard Identification
Process of identifying existing or possible hazards / hazardous events
Commonly informal desktop review of the layout, process flow, and Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) to
identify potential sources of incidents and different modes of release of hazardous materials based on professional
judgement
Can be based on formal process such as facilitated group brainstorming session or as part of the safety
assessment (e.g. HAZOP workshop)
Can also be based on historical records from company audits, surveys, investigation reports of past occurrences
Peter van Gorp page 8
QRA Methodology Consequence Analysis
Estimation of the effects or magnitude of the hazards
involves the application of mathematical, analytical and computer models for calculation of the physical effects (e.g.
fire, explosion or toxic dispersion) resulting from a release of hazardous substances
translating the physical effects in terms of degree of injuries and extent of damage to exposed population, assets /
property, and environment (e.g. minor, severe, catastrophic) by comparing with impact criteria (can be company
developed or Internationally recognised criteria)

Thermal radiation
Damage
Assets People
1.6 kW/m2 - Causes no discomfort for long exposure
4.0 - 5.0 kW/m2 - Sufficient to cause pain to personnel if unable to reach cover within 20 seconds; however blistering of the skin (second-degree burns) is likely; (0% lethality)
9.5 kW/m2 - Pain threshold reached after 8 seconds; second-degree burns after 20 seconds
12.5 15 kW/m2 Building made of cellulosic materials may suffer damage after prolonged exposure. 1% lethality in 1 min; first-degree burns
23.0 kW/m2 Buildings that are made of cellulosic materials or not fire-resistant will suffer damage after short exposures. Fire-resistant structures and metal may suffer damage after prolonged exposure.
-
25 kW/m2 - 100% lethality in 1 min; significant injury in 10 seconds
35-37.5 kW/m2 Fire resistant structures suffer damage after short duration. Buildings of cellulosic materials ignite spontaneously. Metal fatigue after a short to medium exposure.
100% lethality in 1 min; 1% lethality in 10 seconds

QRA Methodology Frequency Analysis
Estimation of the likelihood or probability of an incident commonly based on historical data on
incident frequencies or Event Tree Analysis
Historical Incident Frequencies calculation of total failure frequencies of all components of a defined system
such as flanges, valves and equipment based on the release frequencies database (such as International Oil &
Gas Producers (IOGP) Process Release Frequencies; Publication Series on Dangerous Substances (PGS 3)
Guidelines for Quantitative Risk Assessment).
Peter van Gorp page 14
QRA Methodology Frequency Analysis
Event Tree Analysis a logical model that
portrays the combination of failures of events
in an incident sequence
begins with initiating event where
consequences of this event create a path in
which a series of successes or failures will
occur where the overall probability of
occurrence for that path can be calculated

QRA Methodology Risk Estimation & Assessment
Risk calculation is done using mathematical models or modelling software to combine the consequence
analysis and frequency analysis
The risk results are presented in the form of risk contours for Individual Risk or Location Specific Individual Risk and
F-N curves for Societal Risk.
Risk evaluation is carried out by comparing the calculated risks with respect to risk criteria (local or
International)
