Excerpts from the foreword to the monograph:

"The book summarizes and systematizes the works of the authors in the field of risk management and ensuring the protection of the population and the environment from technogenic and other sources of danger.

Much attention is paid to the applied aspects of the use of risk analysis methods in the operating activities of organizations, the analysis of the impact of risks in the implementation of production activities.... The issues of risk management are considered, and this is important, not only in the appendix to the activities of enterprises, but also in ensuring the safety of the population and the environment....

Important problems considered in this monograph, I consider the issues of economic assessment of the risk to human life and health in the implementation of the economic activities of enterprises and optimization of the cost of risk reduction.... It should be noted that the authors have made a great contribution to the development of risk theory in the field of optimizing safety measures and measures aimed at reducing risk, justifying actuarial approaches to assess the cost of a person's statistical life....

I consider the examples given in the monograph to be important and recommended for use, on the development of a program of measures to increase the security of critical facilities and analyze cost effectiveness, as well as on the development of a program to optimize risk reduction costs...

The monograph can be recommended not only for risk management specialists and risk managers of large industrial and energy companies, as well as risk management specialists in insurance companies, but also for decision makers in emergency risk management, safety management in various sectors of the economy, for managers in risk management and insurance decisions.

In general, the work done by the authors deserves a positive assessment. The material is presented in a systematic presentation and methodically sustained. All this allows us to assert with a sufficient degree of confidence about the possibility of using the book, for example, in risk management training courses, including for students and graduate students undergoing training and training in the specialties "Risk Management" and "Insurance."

Brief excerpts from the prefaces to the monograph:

"... We believe that the presented toolkit will allow risk - company managers to optimize the insurance protection system of their companies."

Vice President of RusRiska, CEO of MatthewsDaniel in Russia and the CIS A.V. Lebedev

«… A feature of the modern Russian insurance market was the subordination of the interests of insurers to the interests of insurers and the focus on the predominant development of compulsory insurance in various forms. This situation cannot suit large Russian companies that seek to optimize their expenses in modern conditions of macroeconomic instability, including the establishment of fair corporate claims by the insured for insurance premiums, insurance amounts, liability limits, the level of own retention and the associated type and size of the deductible. The provision in which the insured is the main figure in the insurance market, and insurance is subordinate to the interests of consumers of insurance services, should become the norm in the insurance market. Therefore, this book is written from the standpoint of the insured and is addressed primarily to risk managers and specialists of large companies involved in the formation of property insurance programs in the corporate insurance system... "

«… We can safely state that the author managed to achieve the set goal - to endow the risk management of large companies - as policyholders - with modern quantitative tools for the formation of reasonable proposals on insurance conditions and, within the framework of these proposals, optimize the company's insurance protection system."

General Director of the BC-RnD consulting group, Candidate of Economic Sciences V. A. Tabakov

"... The monograph of A.A. Bykov was written by a mathematician who proved the fairness, reliability of the results obtained. The work has been done and written talented, it is extremely necessary to ensure the efficiency and safety of the activities of companies and the socio-economic system as a whole. It will certainly be useful for the education system as well."

Vice President of the Academy of Risk Sciences, Rector of the Institute of Risk Problems, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor V. B. Zhivetin

"... At the same time, I hope to see a serious development of this experience in new scientific and technical publications, which will undoubtedly be presented for discussion and analysis at conferences and meetings of the relevant committees of the International Gas Union."

From an interview with Ogonyok journal:

"On the one hand, human life cannot be valued by a finite sum of money. On the other hand, it can be compared with benefits that have a final monetary expression. After all, for example, people engaged in harmful or dangerous production receive additional benefits - a high salary, early retirement. There is a contradiction. But it is easily eliminated if you distinguish between the life of an individual and the life of a statistical person. If a particular person is in danger, you cannot stand with a calculator in your hand and calculate the costs of salvation. There is no amount that expresses the value of his life. When it comes to an acceptable or acceptable risk, you can calculate the cost of reducing it, and therefore the value of average life. Moreover, there is always a limit to such costs, otherwise they become impractical. This limit largely depends on the level of economic development of the country.

The cost of an average life comes in two ways. One determines the amount of compensation that is paid to the relatives of the victims. The second is the amount spent on preventing dangerous situations for humans or mitigating their consequences (it is called the optimization cost). The price of improving safety, as a rule, is several times higher than the compensation cost.

According to our calculations as of 2012, the cost of average life in Russia should be 5 million rubles, and the amount of compensation should be in the range from 3.5 to 6.5 million rubles for working age. The optimization cost in different sectors of the economy varies from 30 to 130 million rubles, with a central value of 80 million. In addition to increasing these indicators, it is also necessary to develop life insurance. In this regard, Russia lags behind not only developed countries, but also a number of countries with economies in transition. And the development of the insurance system would reduce the burden on the state budget."

The monograph contains methodological developments of the authors, which served as the methodological basis for the Rules of professional activity of insurers "Procedure for determining harm, which may be caused by an accident at a hazardous facility, the maximum possible number of victims and the level of safety of a dangerous object, "prepared by the author's team under the scientific leadership of A. A. Bykov by order of the National Union of Liability Insurers to develop the Federal Law of 27.07.2010  No. 225-FZ" On Compulsory Civil Liability Insurance of the Owner of a Dangerous Object for Causing Harm as a Result of an Accident at a Dangerous Object."

From the preface of the President of the National Union of Liability Insurers A.V. Yuriev:

"Of course, the proposed methodological apparatus for assessing the consequences of accidents in liability insurance of owners of hazardous facilities will be improved more than once, however, it should be noted that the methodological base developed by the authors represents a solid foundation on which you can rely in the further development of procedures for assessing the consequences of accidents in the interests of insurance. We can safely recommend this monograph not only to employees of insurance companies and personnel of hazardous facilities responsible for insurance issues, but also to all specialists in the field of industrial safety, protection in emergency situations, developers of safety declarations, as well as persons whose professional interests are related to accident risk assessment issues."

"We have repeatedly noted the rapid pace of development of scientific areas, including the study of safety problems in all areas of life, problems of assessment, analysis, forecasting and risk management. A special place here belongs to issues related to the analysis and forecasting of the risk of emergencies (ES) with large and catastrophic consequences.

A number of major accidents and disasters that have occurred in the last decade have led to a change in the attitude to the risk of major emergencies of both natural and man-made nature with large damage values. Work has appeared indicating the possibility of significantly higher values  of the frequency (probability) of natural disasters and man-made disasters, compared with previously predicted values. At the same time, the limitations of the traditional methodology and methods for assessing the risk of emergencies when using them for the case of severe accidents and catastrophic natural phenomena were clearly indicated.

The problem arises of finding new applied methods for determining and predicting the risk of large emergencies using modern achievements of the asymptotic theory of the probabilities of extreme events, which in recent years has made significant progress in theory, while remaining poorly adapted for practical applications. It was this part - the translation of modern theoretical achievements for practical purposes tried to present the authors of the monograph "Introduction to the statistics of extreme values  and its application," written on the basis of the results of many years of research by the authors."
