Abstract

Risk estimation is how the frequency and consequences for each fire scenario are developed and then combined to characterize the risk that will be used for decision-making. This chapter focuses on a qualitative approach that follows a systematic process that can be reviewed and reproduced to support risk-based decision-making for engineering solutions.
