Measures mitigation

In the North Sea this is often done with detailed quantified risk assessments and the calculation of an overall IRR or risk of total loss of structure. Mitigation measures are incorporated until it can be shown that risk levels meet a minimum criteria and the cost of further mitigation has such high cost to benefit ratios that further mitigation is no longer practicable. ... 

The impact of Ice Storm 98 was unprecedented in Canadian electric power system history. The Ontario Hydro Report provides a chronology of the twenty-three major storms that have impacted the system since 1942. The report also provides a detailed inventory of the effects, consequences, and mitigation measures taken due to the ice storm. The estimated direct total cost to Ontario due to the ice storm is 472 inillioii (Canadian), which includes costs incurred by Ontario I lydro, local Ontario and federal governments, the Insurance Bureau of Canada and associated insurance companies, the Department of National Defence, and affected customers, incliidiiig... 

Climate change is happening. If current climate change is natural, then all we can do is try to adapt. If human activity is causing or contributing to climate change, then mitigation measures can make a difference.

The worst-case scenario is based on releasing the entire contents of a vessel or piping system in a 10-minute period under worst-case meteorological conditions (F stability and 1.5 m/s wind speed). Passive mitigation measures (for example, dikes) can be used in the calculation process therefore the release rate for liquid spills corresponds to the evaporation rate. 

The primary focus on technical fundamentals of chemical process safety provides a solid groundwork for understanding, with full coverage of both prevention and mitigation measures. 

Further, the time to maximum rate (TMR) is measured in the ARC, which can indicate the time available for taking defensive or mitigation measures in process upset situations. 

This section on protective measures discusses three elements (1) containment, (2) instrumentation and detection of a runaway, and (3) mitigation measures. For each element, examples are given to illustrate the principles discussed. This section is basically a summary of protective measures, not an exhaustive treatise. Protective measures are necessary considerations, and in fact, safety requirements, when handling reactive substances and exothermic reactions.
