Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)

Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)

Quantitative Risk Assessment, sometimes called Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA), systematically estimates the probability and potential impact of hazardous events. In environments where severe safety, environmental, or economic stakes are at play, QRA offers a data-driven basis for deciding how to effectively manage and balance those risks.

Services

  • Gather essential data and build rule sets tailored to the context

  • Determine event frequencies through fault and event tree techniques
  • Evaluate overall safety and economic risk to inform strategic decisions
  • Perform cost-benefit analyses to find optimal risk reduction measures
  • Conduct sensitivity studies and uncertainty analyses for robust decision-making

Demonstrating Process Risks are ALARP: How Low is Low Enough?

A comprehensive look at how high-hazard industries demonstrate that risks are As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). The article covers regulatory expectations in the UK, EU and internationally, explains risk tolerability criteria (broadly acceptable, tolerable if ALARP, unacceptable regions), details quantitative and qualitative risk assessment tools (QRA, LOPA, FTA, ETA, risk matrices) used to show ALARP, and illustrates the principles with real-world case studies from the oil and gas and hydrogen sectors. The content is universally applicable across technologies, with sector-specific examples enhancing the discussion.
