Notes:
Aspects of loss prevention and consideration of risks in the chemical industry. When dealing with questions of safety and loss prevention, a distinction must be made between the terms danger, safety, source of danger, and risk. Relevant sources of danger are tabulated. The risk in breakdowns is discussed at length in terms of the factors incidence rate and damaging effect with the aid of recent literature. Access to incidence rates is provided by logic diagrams which are of great value on a qualitative basis for loss prevention. The basic requirements for a quantitative treatment are considered and the problems arising with quantitative results are discussed. Loss prevention can be achieved by reducing incidence rates and/or damaging effects.
