Fig. 10.5 An incomplete fault tree analysis concerning the release of HCN. The circles represent
initiating events and the rectangles represent intermediate events
site. To do this, use the risk matrix introduced in Chap. 7 (see Fig. 7.8). Discuss the
acceptability of the risk in both cases.
10.2.6 Risk Management (Step 6)
Task: Having evaluated the risks, discuss the following questions:
(a) What safety measures could be taken to reduce the level of risk?
(b) Are there any residual risks that are consciously being accepted?
10.3 Life Cycle Assessment
A life cycle assessment (LCA) can be performed in order to identify the largest
impacts of this specific production step of 3-amino-2-isopropylthio benzonitrile
(Fig. 10.2). As introduced in Chap. 5, an LCA is composed of four phases. For
this case study, the focus is on quantifying and interpreting the impacts of the
