ABSTRACT
In the present study the industrial area nearby the city of Ravenna was investigated with the aim of completely quantifying the risk increase due to domino effect in the whole industrial area. The industrial risk in the area was widely analyzed in previous quantitative area risk analysis (QARA) studies since 1995 (Egidi et al, 1995), and most of the industrial plants present fall under ‘‘Seveso-II’’ Directive. Thus a wide amount of data, mostly in the safety reports issued on the basis of the ‘‘Seveso-II’’ Directive, are available for risk analysis.
