Chemical process quantitative risk analysis (CPQRA) as applied tothe CPI was first fully described in the first edition of this CCPSGuidelines book. This second edition is packed with informationreflecting advances in this evolving methodology, and includesworked examples on a CD-ROM. CPQRA is used to identify incidentscenarios and evaluate their risk by defining the probability offailure, the various consequences and the potential impact of thoseconsequences. It is an invaluable methodology to evaluate thesewhen qualitative analysis cannot provide adequate understanding andwhen more information is needed for risk management. This techniqueprovides a means to evaluate acute hazards and alternative riskreduction strategies, and identify areas for cost-effective riskreduction. There are no simple answers when complex issues areconcerned, but CPQRA2 offers a cogent, well-illustrated guide toapplying these risk-analysis techniques, particularly to riskcontrol studies.
