Background & objectives: With increasing development of knowledge and the emergence of new technologies in industry especially in the oil industry and the creation of highly complex systems, the implementation of the principles of safety, health and environmental management has been of particular importance in preventing accidents. This study was conducted to assess risk of oil resevoirs in Amout-E-Arvand Free Zone. Methods: In this study, FMEA method was used to identify and determine the significance of health, safety and environmental risks. Results: Based on the results obtained in the process of exploitation of Amout-E-Arvand oil reservoirs, of 14 identified risks, four of them are at critical level, of which 3 risks have been occurred due to human error. These three risks are leakage from LPG reservoirs, explosion and fires (caused by LPG tanks), vehicles and vehicle accident. The occurrence of natural disasters, with the value of RPN (240), has the highest risk. Conclusion: The use of the FMEA method can also identify and prioritize activities and risk indicators, plan to prevent and eliminate significant risks.
Security breaches on the socio-technical systems organizations depend on cost the latter billions of dollars of losses each year. Although information security is a growing concern, most organizations deploy technical security measures to prevent security attacks, overlooking social and organizational threats and the risks faced because of them. In this paper, we propose a method to information security risk analysis inspired by the ISO27k standard series and based on two state-of-art methods, namely the socio-technical security requirements method STS and the risk analysis method CORAS. The method captures social interactions among stakeholders, while capturing both the risks that threaten their assets as well as those arising while interacting with others. Then, the method suggests how assets are to be protected based on the information classification and potential losses incurred by security breaches. An example from the healthcare domain is used throughout the paper to illustrate the method.
Unlike the classical risk analysis that protects the assets of the company in question, the GDPR protects data subject's rights and freedoms, that is, the right to data protection and the right to have full control and knowledge about data processing concerning them. The GDPR articulates Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) in article 35. DPIA is a risk-based process to enhance and demonstrate compliance with these requirements. We propose a methodology to conduct the DPIA in three steps and provide a supporting tool. In this paper, we particularly elaborate on risk analysis as a step of this methodology. The provided tool assists controllers to facilitate data subject's rights and freedoms. The assistance that our tool provides differentiates our work from the existing ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
