Abstract

The ARAMIS1 project is believed to be able to address several goals, in particular: (a) the use of state-of-the-art methods to study processes to predict potential hazardous events and their likelihood; (b) to achieve “transparency” of processes that allows both the users and the regulating authorities to understand, validate, and comment on risks consistently. The ARAMIS methodology first introduced the concepts of safety barriers and bow-ties, which, nowadays, are used regularly by the European Industry and are considered as a valuable means to perform risk assessment and to share the results with stakeholders. However, in order to address a risk assessment usable for real-time safety management, a further step needs to be accomplished, namely the dynamic monitoring of risk, that is, how the actual status of the equipment and/or conditions in a moment in time can be taken into account to update the risk assessment and therefore estimate the risk exposure of the installation toward the accidental scenarios identified. This step was developed thanks to further EU-funded project TOSCA2 that built on ARAMIS achievements. The actual risk level of an installation with respect to hazardous phenomena is in fact a property that changes over time taking into account the actual status of equipment and their management. In this paper, we explain the progress of this specific goal as well as present an applied case study.
