PREFACE
The American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) has been involved with process safety and loss prevention in the chemical, petrochemical, hydrocarbon processing, and other process industries since its founding in 1908. As these industries increased in scale and economic importance in the years following World War 11, AIChE’s activities in this area expanded through specific programming activities and publications. AIChE’s symposia, journals, and other publications have been important safety resources for chemical engineers, industrial chemists, and other technical professionals in these industries.
In 1985, following major chemical disasters in Mexico City, Mexico, and Bhopal, India, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) was established as an AIChE Technology Alliance. The charter of CCPS is to develop and disseminate technical information for use in the prevention of major chemical accidents. CCPS is supported by more than 120 sponsors worldwide, including process industry companies, engineering consulting companies, and government entities. These sponsors provide funding, and, more importantly, technical knowledge, expertise, and professional guidance through participation in various CCPS project subcommittees. One important product of CCPS, in support of its charter, is a series of guidelines books which provide information on implementation of various aspects of a complete process safety management system.
Process hazard analysis, risk analysis, and risk management have been recognized as critical features of a process safety management program by CCPS from its inception in 1985. The first product of CCPS was the first edition of Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation Procedures, published in 1985, and now in its third edition (published in 2008). The second and third editions of this book include discussion of qualitative risk evaluation tools, which can be incorporated into process hazard studies. CCPS has also published several important books related to process risk analysis, including:

xiv GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING QUANTITATIVE SAFETY RISK CRITERIA
Guidelines for Chemical Process Quantitative Risk Analysis (1 989, 2nd Edition published in 2000) provides a complete methodology for quantitative process risk analysis. Evaluating Process Safety in the Chemical Industry: A User's Guide to Quantitative Risk Analysis (2000) is an overview of the use of quantitative risk analysis techniques in the process industries for engineers and managers. Tools for Making Acute Risk Decisions with Chemical Process Safety Applications (1 995) describes how various decision analysis techniques can be applied to management decision making incorporating the results of risk analysis studies. Layer of Protection Analysis: SimpliJed Process Risk Assessment (2001) provides a description of a simplified technique for evaluating process safety risks.
This book, Guidelines for Developing Quantitative Safety Risk Criteria, provides additional guidance on the use of risk analysis studies for process risk management decisions. Over the last several decades, as quantitative risk analysis has been applied increasingly in the process industries, many government and industry organizations have begun to develop and apply risk criteria as tools for making process risk management decisions. This book surveys experience with the development and application of these criteria, and provides guidance on how an organization might use this experience to establish its own risk criteria. The book does not recommend criteria, or endorse specific criteria that have been used by various organizations. The focus is on understanding the meaning of the various criteria that have been used, their bases, how they are applied, and how this experience can be used by an organization that is considering similar approaches as a part of its own process risk management system. We hope that this book will help engineers and managers in the process industries better understand risk criteria, how they can be applied, how they can become one element of a comprehensive process risk management system, as well as understand the limitations and potential problems that might be associated with the use of risk criteria.

xvi GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING QUANTITATIVE SAFETY RISK CRITERIA
Walt Frank of Frank Risk Solutions, Inc. (formerly of ABS Consulting) and John Farquharson of ABS Consulting were the authors of the book. Steve Arendt, Myron Casada, and Henrique Paula of ABS Consulting provided valuable contributions to its outline and content. Dr. Paula’s past extensive research to identify relevant resources on the development of safety risk criteria throughout the world was of great value in developing the book. Karen Taylor edited the manuscript, Susan Hagemeyer prepared the manuscript for the printer, and Paul Olsen provided graphics support.
CCPS also thanks the following peer reviewers for taking the time to review the final manuscript of the book, and providing extensive and valuable input and comments:
