Abstract: To assess the safety of an existing LNG facility or to design a safe new facility, one must be able to consider what potential accidents might happen, what the consequences of such accidents might be, and what steps should be taken to upgrade the level of safety, if necessary. Although this sounds straightforward in principle, there are some major problems involved. First of these is the definition of safe. No human activities are absolutely free from risk and we each may have very different ideas of the risks that we will personally accept, the risks that we may inflict on others in good conscience, or the risks others will accept on an involuntary basis. In the past, these differing personal attitudes toward safety have been considered in developing safety codes by consensus of a committee of experts with varied experiences and backgrounds. The LNG Code, NFPA 59A, has developed in this manner and is revised periodically to reflect both new knowledge and new attitudes toward acceptable levels of safely. This code, which is now also an interim federal standard for LNG facilities, assures that all facilities will be designed to meet certain basic safety criteria.
