Consequence and Probability for RBI

• Probability of Failure:
o Cause of Loss of Containment are Damage Mechanisms
o Corrosion
o Cracking
o etc.
• Consequence of Failure:
o Effect of Loss of Containment:
o Injury/fatality (safety) due to release of flammable, toxic, or reactive
material
o Injury/fatality (safety) due to release of excessive pressure
o Environmental damage
o Production Loss
