RISK ASSESSMENT navigation

Ship transportation is considered an economic method to carry large amounts of hazardous cargo. In case of an accident, however, it turns into a major safety problem with possibly disastrous consequences for the environment. The coarse procedure for a risk assessment focusing on the inland navigation of a large-scale LH2 cargo on a 15,000 m capacity barge carrier has been demonstrated in [17, 72].

The second important part of safety management system is the stochastic model of navigational safety. The model could be used for risk assessment and in case when risk reduction measures are necessary. The model is capable to predict navigational safety... 

To oversee the safety programme, a Hazard Control and Review Committee was formed. This was chaired by the Safety Champion and contained representatives of the project sponsor, the managing consultant and the work stream managers. This committee reviewed all risk assessments, tasks and safety requirements. The hazard log was central to this process - a live connection to the log was projected in the meetings and the content reviewed directly. This enabled convenient navigation around the hazard log as questions arose. The review status of each entry was also recorded in the hazard log, simplifying the task of identifying which entries required review. 

This easy to navigate program helps you conduct a hazard analysis based on the application and the associated tasks the robot wiU be completing. It then leads you through the risk assessment where you will determine the severity of potential injuries and the frequency of exposure and likehhood of avoidance. Once the risk assessment is complete, the program provides for easy documentation.

The creation of the rational risk management system before the delivery of engineering construction, especially, when such object could attract possible fatalities, are nowadays the standard in many countries. In this chapter some theoretical and practical aspects of the risk management are presented. The important are the measures of the risk assessment what ties in with the settlement of levels of its acceptance. Figure 3 presents the four main factors influent on collisions of ships with bridges. To navigational conditions need to be also considered. 

Proximity to civil aircraft movements (D4 - discretionary). This criterion relates to possible hazard from civil aircraft movements (as a result of impact) and to risk to safe use of civil aircraft the Air Navigation Regulations (Reference Error Reference source not found.) control flights in the vicinity of UK nuclear sites. Whilst assessment of this discretionary criterion is site specific, it is addressed in part by the generic APIOOO design. The External Hazards Topic Report (Reference 3.2, section 6.3) demonstrates that the APIOOO has been designed such that credible civil aircraft impact would not compromise the control of core reactivity or the removal of heat from the core and would not result in the uncontrolled dispersion of radioactivity or the uncontrolled exposure of plant personnel or the public to radiation. 

The local pilots must be involved in navigational safety analysis as experts, because even if the mean result of the trials shows that the manoeuvre is feasible and safe with respect to its geometrical boundaries it can be assessed by the experts as feasible but unsafe and additional risk prevention measures should be undertaken.

An assessment of risk to life and property is needed for a project designed to function up to the initial set of design conditions and assumptions. If the risk (a combination of the probability of failure and consequences of failure) is not acceptable, then a project with a higher level of protection (a new set of design conditions and assumptions) needs to be evaluated for risk. This process is repeated until a project with an acceptable risk level is found. There are several types of risk to be considered in navigation projects. These risks are ... 

The elements that should be considered in evaluating the safety level were introduced in the previous section. The elements must be quantified to assess the risk associated with a navigation area based on navigators perceptions. Hence, a questionnaire was used to obtain input from navigators. The design of the questionnaire used to explore navigators perceptions is shown in table 2.
