Process industry brings economic activity and provides us with unique materials. Inherent to it are risks of loss of containment of hazardous substances and the ensuing risks of explosions, fires and toxic spread.

Abstract
Process industry brings economic activity and provides us with unique materials. Inherent to it are risks of loss of containment of hazardous substances and the ensuing risks of explosions, fires and toxic spread. Since for several reasons industry favours locations near crossways of trade and traffic and thus vicinity to population is inevitable, risk assessment has in many places become a routine based on legislation. The paper will review the state of the art and will call for improvements.
