How safe is safe enough?
The government's response to industrial and flood risks
Jongejan, R.B. (2008), ISBN978-90-9023432-8
Disasters can never be completely ruled out. The Dutch national government has therefore committed itself to the concept of risk rather than the false promise of absolute safety. This book reviews the Dutch industrial and flood safety policies, as well as methods that are widely used to address the thorny question “how safe is safe enough?”.
The three main topics covered by the book are:
1. The Dutch industrial and flood safety policies: the influence of
regulations and liability rules on resource allocation; current
practices and alternatives.
2. Methods for risk evaluation and their conformity with a
utilitarian ethic: cost-benefit analysis, FN-criteria, the precautionary
principle.
3. Dealing with losses: optimizing disaster preparedness,
the (un)insurability of large-scale floods, the relations between insurance and system
