1. 1. Anticipating Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): an impact-based forecasting framework for managing GLOF risks in Nepal.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Grace Muir; [2023]
   Keywords : Anticipatory Action; Impact-based Forecasting; Glacier Lake Outburst Flood; Nepal; Risk-informed Early Action; Prediction; Disaster Risk Management; Science General;

   Abstract : Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. READ MORE

3. 2. Mapping of Process Hazard Analyses in Swedish Process Industries and How the Work Can Be Improved

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI)

   Author : Isabella Bergström; [2022]
   Keywords : Risk management; Qualitative risk assessment; PHA; Process safety; Seveso directive; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study aims to map how Swedish process industries use qualitative risk analyses, such as process hazard analyses (PHA), to assess risks. Beyond the Seveso legislation, which requires all facilities classified as upper tier to perform a safety report each fifth years, there are no Swedish legislation or regulations regarding how and when PHAs should be executed.

4. 3. Comparative study of risk analysis methods from a fire safety perspective - Case study of new underground facilities at CERN

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Frida Olin; Erik Isaksson; [2016]
   Keywords : Risk analysis methods; design fires; event tree analysis; preliminary hazard analysis; What-if; ROGA; Gretener method; NFPA 101; comparative analysis; CERN; technical risk analysis methods; case study; LHC; HL-LHC; complex methods; simplified methods; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This report has investigated which type of risk analysis methods that can be used in an early design phase in a unique facility from a time and quality perspective. Two planned underground facilities for the HL-LHC at CERN have been used as a case study. READ MORE

5. 4. Simulating production risk at Volvo Powertrain - Developing a simulation tool for decision making

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Förpackningslogistik

   Author : Magnus Cederlund; [2014]
   Keywords : Risk Management; Supply Chain Risk Management; Fault Tree Analysis; Preliminary Hazard Analysis; Lean Production; Risk Matrix; World Class Manufacturing; Fire Safety; Volvo Powertrain; Business and Economics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : How can a small fire at a subcontractor in the USA lead to a multimillion dollar loss at a Swedish telephone company, and how can a single machine breakdown lead to a complete production stop at a production company? With today logistics and production trends, where terms such as Lean Production, Six Sigma, 5S, and World Class Manufacturing are used every day, production companies are introducing streamline production facilities and supply chain where goods and raw material are delivered just in time, where buffer zones are reduced, and where suppliers are reduced to a single source. These are trends that strengthen companies’ competitiveness, but it also makes companies more vulnerable to risk events. READ MORE

6. 5. Developing the Safety Case based SQAD-methodology to handle a risk/margin profile by integrating methods for risk assessment

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik; Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Jonas Åström; [2011]
   Keywords : SQAD; Safety Case; Preliminary Hazard Analysis; Risk Marginal; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to present a proposal for an evolved SQAD (Safety/Quality Assurance and Demonstration)-methodology. SQAD is a Safety Case-based methodology with the main purpose of supplying an effective tool for organizing and demonstrating system safety. READ MORE
