Synopsis:

The aim of this reference text is to provide a common language and consistent approach to risk assessment across science and engineering disciplines through the collation of detailed, real examples and scenarios.

Examples are drawn from a variety of industries and cover key risk topics such as tolerability, data collection, hazard identification and hazard interpretation. The approaches communicate common challenges and are compared and contrasted, with a particular focus on the terminology used.

The book is essential reading for scientists and engineers that undertake risk assessment, including industry practitioners, researchers in academia and those with a general interest in improving risk assessment processes. It is also a valuable reference for science and engineering students that regularly undertake risk assessments or study courses on risk assessment.

Key Features:

• Proposes a common language and consistent approach to risk assessment across science and engineering disciplines

• Creates a bridge between industrial and academic approaches to risk analysis and encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration

• Collates detailed practical examples of risk assessment

• Explores the diverse undertaking of risk assessment in a wide range of disciplines

• Analyses the approaches taken, with a particular focus on the terminology used
