If adequate time is not set aside to stop, think, define, and manage fire hazards and risks, much like with Velociraptors, then rational application of protection regulations and solutions can become subject to factors such as budget restraints and implementation schedule impact.

Energy optimization: a prerequisite for a low-carbon future — Part 1
The need to decarbonize the economy and adapt to a changing energy landscape is a key challenge for large energy users. New technologies are providing increasingly cost-effective solutions to mitigate the impact of carbon and optimizing energy use has the potential to generate a positive return on investment in the near term while simultaneously working towards a low-carbon future. David Anders starts us off with part one of our energy optimization blog series.

Heavy-tailed risk events and how to deal with them
Studying the tails of distributions is essential for risk management. Whether in probabilistic risk assessment or even in qualitative hazard studies, risk management aims to understand tail events. Risk measures such as value at risk or expected shortfall are essentially measures of the distributions’ tails. So, if you’re concerned about your project cost overrun risks, for example, you’re worried about the tail of the cost distribution.
