Achieving Inherent Safety From Inherent Hazard and Risk Factors
Sultana, Sharmin; Haugen, Stein (Chapter, 2021)Inherent safety is considered the best approach to risk reduction. Academia and industry personnel have studied this topic for a long time. However, many misconceptions and lack of clarity still exist in the industry. Also, ... -
Development of an inherent system safety index (ISSI) for ranking of chemical processes at the concept development stage
Haugen, Stein; Sultana, Sharmin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Inherently safer design is the most proactive approach to manage risk, as referred by scientists and experts. Researchers have adopted various methods in evaluating inherent safety indices like parameter-based indexing, ... -
An extended FRAM method to check the adequacy of safety barriers and to assess the safety of a socio-technical system
Sultana, Sharmin; Haugen, Stein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Safety barriers are used in the system to prevent unwanted events and accidents. Traditional approaches like fault tree or bow-tie method use linear accident models without considering complex interactions of failures of ... -

Identifying safety indicators for safety performance measurement using a system engineering approach
Sultana, Sharmin; Andersen, Bjørn Sørskot; Haugen, Stein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The paper presents a method for the development of safety indicators for a process industry application based on a system engineering perspective. Traditional approaches use probabilistic risk assessment or linear accident ... -
Industry Best Practice Risk based design for LPG Facility: Gap in Bangladesh practice
Sultana, Sharmin; Islam, Kamrul (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Bangladesh safety regulations and practice is at nascent stage. Safety distance regulation for LPG installation does not match with prescriptive standard API 2510 or other international standards. No detail technical basis ... -
Inherent safety assessment: current state of the art and why is still not effectively adopted by industry
Haugen, Stein; Vinnem, Jan Erik; Dahlsveen, Jan; Sultana, Sharmin (Chapter, 2020)Inherent safety is a proactive approach to risk reduction. The industry should adopt it in the early stages of design as it is the most prominent approach to risk reduction, as described by experts. Researchers have worked ... -
Process Safety and Risk Management using System Perspectives - A contribution to the chemical process and petroleum industry
Sultana, Sharmin (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:323, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Risk management is all activities used to manage the risk of hazardous events and provides information to improve decision-making. A typical approach to system safety is to identify and eliminate the causes of an accident ...
