Analysis of fatality, injury, evacuation and cost data using the Bradford Disaster Scale
Data sets were compiled from the MHIDAS data bank for incidents where there had been five or more fatalities, ten or more injuries, 50 evacuations, or US$1 million damage. The data were converted to magnitudes on the Bradford Disaster Scale and analysed using maximum likelihood. Parameters determined from the estimation procedures were compared for compatibility between themselves and the results of analyses using other data
Risk management and disasters
Presents a method of analysis to obtain risk profiles for major adverse events. The method is based on a previously published method for probabilistically modelling historical data of past major accidents and disasters. Shows that insurable costs arising from such major events can be modelled using the two‐parameter Weibull distribution. Values of parameters obtained using different data sets are seen to be comparable in value. Discusses the rele…
Experiences gained from the First Internet Disaster Conference
Discusses the background of the First Internet Disaster Conference. Debates the advantages and disadvantages of Internet conferencing, and covers the lessons learnt and experiences gained from this conference
Top‐management Attitude towards Safety in the Western European Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
Reports on part of a research programme to elicit and interpret information regarding top management attitudes towards safety in the European chemical and petrochemical industries. Addresses the following areas: authorization of safety policy; commitment towards safety; special safety visits to production plant areas; the quality of participation in safety programmes; top management views on the importance of maintenance with regard to safety; an…
Proposed Disaster Scale and Associated Model forCalculating Return Periods for Disasters of Given Magnitude
Describes the Bradford Disaster Scale (BDS) classification system. Designed to compare disasters arising from different sources, BDS is logarithmic in nature and is based on the number of fatalities involved in the occurrence of a disaster. Provides examples of a general nature to which the model is applied, including natural and man‐made disasters both worldwide and European. More specifically, applies the model to the total number of disasters …
