PGS 1 Methods for Determining Possible Damage (Green Book)

Methods for Determining Possible Damage known as The Green Book as part of the Publication Series on Dangerous Substances (Publicatiereeks Gevaarlijke Stoffen – PGS). (Link)

This publication (also known as the 'green book') presents damage models for determining possible damage to people and goods due to the release of hazardous substances. The use of the damage models will generally be preceded by the application of so-called effect models. With the aid of damage models, the calculated effects can be converted into damage to people or goods. Together, the 'red book' (PGS 4: probabilities), the 'yellow book' (PGS 2: effects), the 'purple book' (PGS 3: Quantitative Risk Analysis) and the 'green book' (PGS 1: damage) formed the series of standard works for risk analyses.

Please note that the coloured books will in principle no longer be updated, but will remain available for the time being as a historical reference work.

The file is available in Portable Document Format (PDF) which can be read from common PDF reader.

PGS 3 Guideline for Quantitative Risk Assessment (Purple Book)

This publication (also known as the 'purple book') describes calculation methods for performing risk calculations. Together, the 'red book' (PGS 4: probabilities), the 'yellow book' (PGS 2: effects), the 'purple book' (PGS 3: Quantitative Risk Analysis) and the 'green book' (PGS 1: damage) formed the series of standard works for risk analyses.

PGS 4 Methods for Determining and Processing Probabilities (Red Book)

Methods for Determining and Processing Probabilities known as The Red Book as part of the Publication Series on Dangerous Substances (Publicatiereeks Gevaarlijke Stoffen – PGS). (link)

This publication (also known as the 'red book') describes methods for determining accident scenarios with associated probabilities and how to deal with them (statistics). Together, the 'red book' (PGS 4: probabilities), the 'yellow book' (PGS 2: effects), the 'purple book' (PGS 3: Quantitative Risk Analysis) and the 'green book' (PGS 1: damage) formed the series of standard works for risk analyses.
