A fundamental premise of risk assessment is that risk is a function of likelihood and consequence. Layer of Protection Analysis in particular analyzes is performed on a specific scenarios, or cause-consequence pairs. Yet most analysts accept that an analysis may consider many consequences. In ...

1 Definition of likelihood, consequence and risk levels We have chosen to use qualitative values for likelihood, consequence and risk levels. 1.1 Likelihood and consequence levels We decided to use four levels for identification of likelihood and four levels for identification of consequence. The level...
From the preceding discussions, it is clear that risk level is a quantitative expression of severity of risk, and can be found by combination of likelihood and consequence, and it is embedded in therisk matrix. So it is not possible to directly measure, but can be referenced after constructin...

It is the combination of the likelihood and the consequence of a specified hazard being realized. For decision making we need the opinions of other sciences, sometimes we have to consider moral questions. One of them is to manage risk of human activities. To make reliable decision, the risk ...
Many public, private, and nonprofit agencies specialize in specific hazards and are likely to have the most accurate information concerning risk likelihood and consequence data. The public is likely to overestimate some risks and underestimate others, depending on the general risk perception ...
In fact, the coincidental discovery of deficient information during the process has yielded the greatest benefit to programs we have supported with RBDS.Qualitative techniques typically result in subjective risk estimates of likelihood and consequence such as high, medium, and low. Our intent is not...
