RMS: USING RMS TECHNIQUES FOR DESIGNING AND OPERATING HAZARDOUS FACILITIES

The Risk Management System (RMS) collects information from engineering, operating and management personnel to identify potentially hazardous conditions. This information is used in risk analysis, problem resolution, and contingency planning. The resulting hazard accountability system enables management to monitor all identified hazards. Data from this system are examined in project reviews so that management can decide to eliminate or accept these risks in large, complex, high-energy facilities. These improvements are needed for increased cooperation among industry, regulatory agencies, and the public.
