Abstract: Safety assessment in industrial plants with ‘major hazards’ requires a rigorous combination of both qualitative and quantitative techniques of RAMS. Quantitative assessment can be executed by static or dynamic tools of dependability but, while the former are not sufficient to model exhaustively time-dependent activities, the latter are still too complex to be used with success by the operators of the industrial field.
