Impact risks

In one Instance, a pyrotechnic preparation, which contained aluminium, water traces, potassium chlorate and potassium and barium nitrates detonated violently twenty four hours after teing prepared. A mixture of barium nitrate, aluminium and magnesium proves very sensitive to friction or impact (risk of ignition or spontaneous detonation).

Using the responsibilities and control actions defined for the components of the safety control structure, the STAMP-based risk analysis applied the four general types of inadequate control actions, omitting those that did not make sense for the particular responsibility or did not impact risk. To accomplish this, the general responsibilities must be refined into more specific control actions.

Risk mapping is a subjective process where the risks are broadly classified based on risk occurrence and risk impact. Risk occurrence measures the likelihood of that risk event happening and is subjectively assessed as high or low. Risk impact is used as an all-embracing term that covers financial loss, market share, stock prices, etc. Risk impact is also assessed subjectively as high or low. Based on the assessment of risk occurrence and risk impact, a 2 x 2 matrix of risk map can be constructed as shown in Figure 7.1 (Elkins et al., 2008a).

Social risk management can take place at different points both before and after risk occurs. The goal of ex ante measures or strategies is to avoid the risk s occurrence (risk prevention) or, if this is not possible, to reduce its impact (risk mitigation). If risk prevention and mitigation are insufficient or inadequate, households are left with the residual option of coping with the shock once it occurs (ex post). 

Another aspect of risk control is risk sensitivity. Sensitivity addresses the abiUty of the risk management approaches to affect the risk in the most effective places. For maximum impact, risk management control efforts should be directed toward those items driving risk, that is, those which are most sensitive to intervention. For example, suppose the failure of a specific resistor, and a specific diode, cause a hazard. Sensitivity analysis would establish that redesign of the resistor would provide an 80% reduction in the risk, while the diode would only provide a 20% reduction. Another sensitivity example is the risk... 

A successfiil safety system is one in which risks are continuously identified and analyzed for relative importance and impact. Risks are mitigated.
