Market Leading Products

 Safeti, the worlds leading QRA tool first developed for the Dutch Government in
1981 and has been continuously developed since
 Safeti customised in 1988 for Rohm and Haas for consequence only calculations
to become Phast, the world leading software for consequence analysis

 Phast and Safeti are supported by a global helpdesk of dedicated engineers

offering 24/5 support and a portfolio of functional and advanced training courses

Market Leading Products

 900 Phast client companies with 3000+ active licenses

 340 Safeti client companies with 900+ active licenses
 Safeti NL has 300 user licenses

“In 25 years Safeti has developed from an idea, considered by many to be

impossible to realise, into the benchmark for QRA software and the Official
Standard Method of the Netherlands government for support of siting and
zoning decisions. A major scientific, technical, and IT achievement!”
Prof. Dr. Ben Ale, Director of Research, Netherlands Institute for Fire Service and Disaster
Management

“I have always been impressed with the effort DNV Software puts into
communicating with Safeti users, and in listening to our needs for ongoing
development of the software.”
Martin Dennehy, Manager, Process Safety Europe, Air Products

Our challenge

Our industries
process, transport
and store a wide
range of hazardous
materials

9 DNV GL © 2013
These hazards may become accidental events

Risk Assessment

 Risk assessment takes

account of contribution from
all hazardous events
 Risks are consolidated
based on lethality of
outcomes, ignition
probabilities, weather
probabilities and population
vulnerability
 Simple and complex studies
can be performed flexibly 1E-6/yr

using Safeti 1E-7/yr

1E-8/yr

1E-9/yr

Risk Reporting

Extensive risk calculations and risk

reporting provide:
 Location specific individual risk
contours
 Societal F-N curves
– With drill down to view
contributors
 Potential Loss of Life (PLL), with:
– PLL per outcome
– PLL per population category
– PLL per area
 Fatal Accident Rate (FAR)
 Individual Risk Ranking
 Societal Risk Ranking

21 DNV GL © 2013
Risk Profile

 By understanding the consequences and likelihood of these hazards, accidental

events and their outcomes, we can:
– See the worst consequences
– See the most likely events and outcomes
– See and understand the worst risks
– Prioritise reducing the consequences of events
– Understand the implications of reducing consequences
– Prioritise reducing the likelihood of events
– Understand the implications of reducing the likelihood
