Risk assessment techniques have been  used for some years in the offshore oil and gas industry, and their  use is set to expand increasingly as the industry moves into new areas  and faces new challenges in older regions. \u003cbr\u003e  The book starts with a thorough discussion of risk analysis  methodology. Subsequent chapters are devoted to analytical approaches  to escalation, escape, evacuation and rescue analysis of safety and  emergency systems. Separate chapters analyze the main hazards of  offshore structures: Fire, explosion, collision and falling objects.  Risk mitigation and control are then discussed, followed by an outline  of an alternative approach to risk modelling that focuses especially  on the risk of short-duration activities. \u003cbr\u003e  Not only does the book describe the state of the art of QRA, it also  identifies weaknesses and areas that need development. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eReadership:\u003c\/em\u003e Besides being a comprehensive reference for  academics and students of marine\/offshore risk assessment and  management, the book should also be owned by professionals in the  industry, contractors, suppliers, consultants and regulatory  authorities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048152797\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048152797\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2471-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 480\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358589808780,"sku":"9789048152797","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048152797_a680dc9f-e4bf-42fd-89f8-453c1646d04e.jpg?v=1755109188","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048152797","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
