Criteria for Acceptable Risk in the Netherlands

Abstract

Risk criteria are reference levels that are set in order to protect people against natural and man-made hazards. In the Netherlands, discussion has risen about the current risk criteria for the field of external safety. Reason for the discussion can be found in the fact that risk has been customarily considered purely as the probability of the loss of life. Other aspects such as economical damage and the degree to which the exposure to the risk is voluntary are not taken into account. To judge risk in a wider context a set of rules for the evaluation of risk, which leads to technical advice in a question that has to be decided politically, is proposed.
