Keywords

Abstract
Management of risk associated with handling of hazardous materials and wastes is a growing concern especially with the exponentially increasing quantities. Many methodologies have been developed to analyze and quantify risk associated with the manufacture, transportation, storage, processing and disposal of hazardous materials and waste. A discussion covers pertinent literature on various aspects of risk analysis, e.g., Ronza et al.'s method that allowed quantitative risk analysis to be performed on marine hydrocarbon terminals sited in ports; conclusion drawn from the literature review, e.g., risk associated with accidents involving certain hazardous goods (hydrocarbons, liquid fuels, etc.) could be more owing to the domino effect; a proposed methodology having comprehensive coverage of chronic as well as acute risk associated with each stage of the management from cradle-to-grave is proposed; application of the methodology using Delphis technique involving 52 experts in the field of hazardous materials and waste management; and the proposed framework for risk analysis of hazardous materials and waste. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AWMA Associations 99th Annual Conference and Exhibition 2006 (New Orleans, LA 6/20-23/2006).
