In order to avoid any confusion, this text complies with the freely available glossary Riskope has produced. The glossary is now at his third edition (https://www.riskope.com/knowledge-centre/tool-box/glossary/).
- 2.
For the determination of the probabilities the assessors will use a selection of methods taken from ISO 31010 international code.
- 3.
For example, see NASA’s Fault Tree Handbook with Aerospace Applications (NASA 2002). This should model success and failure with various pre-selected criteria.
- 4.
Including inference of casualties and pathologies deducted from health studies described in Measure 9.
- 5.
For example, using Holmes and Rae empirical correlation between “life changing units” and the likelihood to become ill due to external changes, stress, Societal Willingness to Pay (See Sect. 13.1.2), etc.
- 6.
Risks = (probability (range) * Consequence (range)) as an extension of Eq. (1.1).
