Abstract

This book challenges the claim that the precautionary principle is an appropriate guide to public policy decision-making in the face of uncertainty.The precautionary principle is frequently invoked as a justification for regulating human activities. From bans on the use of growth hormones in cattle to restrictions on children's playground activities, precautionary thinking seems to be taking over our lives. As the contributors to this book show, such an approach is of dubious utility and may even be counterproductive. This is a timely and important contribution to the debat

Abstract

Electrical Engineering Probabilistic Risk Assessment and Management for Engineers and Scientists Second Edition "State of the art in risk analysis...[this book] projects the technology into the next decade. Congratulations to the authors on a virtuoso performance." -Charles Donaghey, University of Houston "A very useful reference to the academic and government communities, and junior engineering staff within nuclear, chemical, transportation, aerospace, and other industries." -Yovan Lukic, Arizona Public Service Company As the demands of government agencies and insurance companies escalate, societal risk assessment and management become increasingly critical to the development and use of engineered systems in the full range of industrial installations. Packed with real-world examples and practical mathematical and statistical methods for large, complex systems, this definitive text and sourcebook gives you the guidance you need for thorough and conclusive study. You'll find new and updated coverage of all the key topics related to risk analysis: * Probabilistic nature of risk * Qualitative and quantitative risk assessments * System decomposition * Legal and regulatory risks * And much more! The authors also provide end-of-chapter problems and a course outline. Complete with a new, automated, fault tree synthesis method using semantic networks. Probabilistic Risk Assessment and Management for Engineers and Scientists, Second Edition will be of value to anyone working with engineered systems. Also of Interest from IEEE Press...

Abstract

Dix mille par an : c'est le nombre de décès prématurés que l'on pourrait éviter, si les ouvriers et employés avaient en France la mortalité des cadres supérieurs et des professions libérales. Ces données sont publiques, et pourtant, elles n'ont été jusqu'à présent que peu débattues publiquement. Alors même que la France fait partie des pays européens où les disparités devant la mort sont les plus fortes. D'où l'importance de ce livre, fruit d'un programme de recherches pluridisciplinaires, qui dresse un état des savoirs en matière d'inégalités sociales face à la santé
