- ABSTRACT: One of the most important strategies to achieve a sustainable development is to control the risk of the environmental threats. Conceptual frameworks for risk assessment are needed in water resource management and this study is aimed to introduce a simple methodology by which the risk of wastes as contaminants could be identified and minimised. Using a qualitative risk analysis, since few quantitative data were known, this methodology is applied to assess the hazard identification and risk assessment at St Miguel, Azores (Portugal). The main conclusions were the need for proper management and control of waste discharges and the need of a surveillance programme to keep track on what is released and thereby be able to define and implement minimisation programmes.

- ABSTRACT: Safety issues are usually of primary importance in industries as accidents can have extremely severe consequences for the human, environment and the property. To provide a safe and efficient operation of an industrial complex, some demands should be fulfilled. These are: 1. Hazards and incident scenarios should be identified and eliminated, 2. Protective tools should be designed to minimise the effect of the accident, 3. Operators and personnel should be trained, and 4. A more effective rescue organisation should be provided. In this study which is focused on the first demands a safety model is presented to assess the risks in industry and minimise them to an acceptable level by applying an analytical procedure at semi quantitative level. It was found from the literature that analytical method accompanied by risk ranking matrix could be capable to identify the incident scenarios and level of risk in relation with each scenario. The reduction of the risk level could be achieved by providing appropriate safeguards and control. These efforts should be performed in the frame of a system safety. Copyright © SHO 2008
