Abstract
This chapter presents the “reduction of unpredictability” element whose content is related to safety studies and risk analysis. It shows the characteristics and applications of quantitative and qualitative risk analysis; preliminary risk analyses, preliminary hazard analysis, analysis of operational hazards (HAZOP), consequences analysis, and the concept of full safety analysis as a technique with great potential in risk management. The text shows explanations and flowcharts about risk analysis tools, examples of risk classification matrices, differences, and characteristics of the main risk analysis tools. It also includes the presentation of studies and analysis of consequences such as fire propagation, gas dispersion and explosion, simulations of oil spills in water bodies, escape and abandonment studies, and computer simulations of human behavior in emergencies
