Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

Effective process management programs utilize numerous assessment techniques to identify, and evaluate hazards associated with the processes employed to produce the products customers desire. When the evaluations show the associated risk of a given process hazard to be above tolerance levels recommendations/actions are generated to help manage these risks. The sheer number and magnitude of the recommendations typically overwhelm the resources of most organizations. We are interested in receiving abstracts for papers that discuss: • Systems that track and mange the recommendations through their life cycle. • Methods of integration of recommendation priorities generated by a variety of assessment techniques to generate one master list. • The process of how recommendations are prioritized and selected for funding.
