摘要：	The system of control imposed on explosives movements through ports in Great Britain is based on the well-established principle of quantity distances, i.e., restrictions are placed on the types and quantities of explosives that may be moved so as to ensure limited consequences in the event of an accident. Explosives limits for individual ports are set out in formal licenses issued by the United Kingdom Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The HSE has recently licensed British ports under the 1987 Dangerous Substances in Harbour Areas Regulations (DSHAR). In a number of cases, building development around ports has resulted in lower license limits than the operators would desire. Thus, much interest has been expressed in using quantified risk assessment (QRA) for justifying higher limits. This paper considers one way in which a QRA-based system of ports licensing might be introduced in Great Britain and examines the advantages and disadvantages of such a move. What information should be contained in a QRA-based application for an explosives license? It would be essential for the applicant's written report to contain sufficient information to enable structured evaluation by the HSE. The information requirements can be grouped under four headings: (1) Information relating to the dangerous materials, (2) Information relating to the site, (3) Information relating to management systems, and (4) Information relating to potential major accidents.
