Various methods have been developed to ensure the safe transportation of hazardous materials (HazMat). These methods span from conventional statistical methods to modern risk management approaches. An essential question is how to establish the linkages between the regulatory requirements and the safety measures. The analysis of historical data from the past accident report databases would limit our focus on the specific incidents and their causes. Thus, we may overlook some critical elements in risk management, including regulatory compliance, expert opinions, and suggestions. It is necessary to develop a systematic approach that can translate the regulatory requirements of HazMat transportation into specified safety measures (both technical and administrative) to support the risk management. This study develops a structured and transparent method that integrates the quality function deployment (QFD) and risk assessment, namely, safety function deployment (SFD), to identify potential risks and find critical safety barriers for HazMat highway transportation. The proposed method is demonstrated by a hypothetical case study. The approach can serve as a tool to map the safety requirement into specific safety barriers to minimize the risk of HazMat highway transportation.

危险品公路运输风险管理的安全功能部署方法

已经开发了各种方法来确保危险材料 (HazMat) 的安全运输。这些方法涵盖从传统的统计方法到现代风险管理方法。一个基本问题是如何在监管要求和安全措施之间建立联系。对过去事故报告数据库中历史数据的分析将限制我们对具体事故及其原因的关注。因此，我们可能会忽略风险管理中的一些关键要素，包括合规性、专家意见和建议。有必要开发一种系统方法，将 HazMat 运输的监管要求转化为特定的安全措施（技术和管理），以支持风险管理。本研究开发了一种结构化和透明的方法，将质量功能部署 (QFD) 和风险评估相结合，即安全功能部署 (SFD)，以识别潜在风险并找到 HazMat 公路运输的关键安全障碍。所提出的方法通过一个假设的案例研究来证明。该方法可以作为一种工具，将安全要求映射到特定的安全屏障，以最大限度地减少危险品公路运输的风险。
