- Includes examples of risk tolerance criteria used by NASA, Earthquake Response teams and the International Maritime Organization, amongst others
- Helps achieve consistency in risk-based decision-making
- Reduces potential liabilities in the use of quantitative risk tolerance criteria through reference to an industry guidance document
