Semi-quantitative approach to prioritize risk in industrial chemical plants aggregating safety, economics and ageing: A case study

Paolo Mocellin and Lisa Pilenghi

Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2023, vol. 237, issue C

Abstract: In the European Union, many of chemical plants are over 50 years old and more than half of the major accidents were caused by loss of technical integrity and ageing of equipment. Therefore, including ageing issues in the risk evaluation and prioritization is crucial.
