Abstract
Describes the Bradford Disaster Scale (BDS) classification system.
Designed to compare disasters arising from different sources, BDS is
logarithmic in nature and is based on the number of fatalities involved
in the occurrence of a disaster. Provides examples of a general nature
to which the model is applied, including natural and man‐made disasters
both worldwide and European. More specifically, applies the model to the
total number of disasters occurring during the period 1970‐87 within the
chemical and allied industries. Outlines recommendations, including
preliminary hazard assessment for using, improving and extending the
model.
