RISKCURVES quantifies risks associated with various scenarios or processes, providing a numerical foundation for assessing compliance with your key risk metrics, demonstrating whether the risks meet the criteria of being 'As Low As Reasonably Practicable' (ALARP).

Use RISKCURVES to support the identification and prioritisation of layout elements that pose the highest risks, enabling businesses to focus their resources on mitigating or eliminating these critical risks while minimising unnecessary expenditures.

One of RISKCURVES’ unique functionalities is the ‘societal risk map’: a geographical representation of societal risk. This geographical representation of risk supports stakeholders, regulators and the public, in better understanding the distribution of risks associated with various industrial or infrastructure activities, which is a valuable resource for emergency response and land-use planning. 

RISKCURVES is designed to have a short learning curve and be configurable for both experts and occasional users. Its modern and intuitive user interface allows you to quickly determine the consequences of accidental releases.

Save considerably on license costs and have full flexibility to use your license whether you are a specialised consultancy or multinational corporation.

RISKCURVES includes integrated EFFECTS consequence models for over 70 specific scenarios, more than 2200 chemical components (DIPPR® chemical database included), and the ability to define your own mixtures.

RISKCURVES includes functionality to support safe and regulatory compliant energy transition initiatives. The software is extensively validated for analysing the risks of new energy carriers, such as hydrogen and ammonia, against the latest research and scientific insights.

RISKCURVES is a software package to perform a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) for activities with hazardous materials.

RISKCURVES uses an intuitive modular approach, allowing the use of topographic maps or aerial pictures to define potential Loss of Containment (LoC) scenarios. Advanced geographic presentations can be created by using the internal GIS presentation system. Based upon TNO Coloured Books, the effect and consequence models included within RISKCURVES provide a sound, scientific and transparent basis to perform QRAs.

RISKCURVES can be used for a wide range of studies including (but not limited to):

• Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA)​
• Risk-based design​
• Sensitivity analysis​
• ALARP demonstration
• Emergency preparedness planning

Additionally, all EFFECTS models are integrated within RISKCURVES. Thus, all consequence modelling studies can potentially be performed with RISKCURVES as well.

The calculation of chances and effects of the identified events in RISKCURVES leads to quantitative values for Individual Risk, Consequence Risk, and Societal Risk.

Individual Risk and Consequence Risk are usually presented as “Iso Risk Contours”: lines on a topographic map which represent point with equal risk value: e.g., the 10-6 contour for lethality or heat radiation / overpressure / concentration level thresholds.

Societal Risk is presented as an “fN curve” which plots number of fatalities against the corresponding frequency. Societal Risk Maps are also provided which are a geographical representation of Societal Risk.

RISKCURVES can perform calculations of physical effects, consequence and combine them with frequencies and probabilities to obtain individual, consequence and societal risk levels. It can also calculate risk caused by the transport of hazardous materials. It facilitates data entry and presentation of the results by using a highly visual approach.
