Abstract
This chapter starts with a general discussion on the indicators of major hazard risk, followed by a discussion of the Risk Level project by PSA in Norway and the lessons learned from this project with respect to major hazard risk indicators. The final part discusses how major hazard risk indicators should be used by individual companies and installations, in order to control major hazard risk.
