Consequence Modelling Techniques

Overview

This course will help you to understand a range of consequence modelling techniques, including their advantages and limitations. You’ll learn how to define the possible outcomes of hazardous material release and the impact of hazards on people, environment and property.

It will also show you how to define source terms and help you understand different approaches and regulatory requirements for consequence modelling.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, you will understand:

• what consequence modelling is and how to approach defining the model requirements
• the accident pathway
• the harm criteria and choose appropriate levels to model
• how course terms are generated
• the modelling concepts for vapour cloud explosions, flammable and toxic dispersions, and fire modelling
• how to use the results to support decision-making
• the common pitfalls in the use of consequence modelling and how to prevent them.

Who will benefit
