Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide the main results of a study concerning the risk of chlorine transport by train in France. The specific problem of chlorine transport is presented in the framework of a general model for assessing the risk in the transport of dangerous materials. The probability of accidents followed with a chlorine release involving fatalities are put in perspective with other risks having potential health effects on the public. Two types of application of the model are envisaged in relation to the management of risk: the selection of protective measures through a cost‐effectiveness approach and the use of the model for a better planning of decisions in an accident situation.
