Process Safety Fundamentals: Value, Protector, Threat (V, P, A)

The Security Context Formula: S = f(V, P, A)
The security context (S) can be represented as a function of these components: S = f(V, P, A). In an open system context, we rely on external factors. Consider a hotel experiencing theft from safes. This prompts analysis of
