Hazard Analysis is a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, and controlling hazards. Some Hazard Analysis techniques also integrate the element of risk to further evaluate the effectiveness of controls and the levels of both unmitigated and residual risk. Because there are many different applications for Hazard Analysis, it is not surprising the Hazard Analysis process comes in many different shapes and sizes. A common thread between all Hazard Analysis methodologies is the integration of two fundamental elements: 1) Hazard Identification, and 2) Hazard Evaluation. Just as the Hazard Analysis process is varied, so are the resources that outline and discuss this discipline. This presentation will provide a high-level overview of the Hazard Analysis concept, outline several commonly used Hazard Evaluation techniques, and give selection criteria on how to choose the appropriate Hazard Evaluation technique.
Participants will gain familiarity of the Hazard Analysis concept. Participants will be able to identify the differences in several commonly used Hazard Evaluation techniques. Participants will become familiar with some of the selection criteria on choosing the appropriate Hazard Evaluation technique.
Participants will gain an understanding of the general Hazard Analysis concept. Participants will be able to identify the differences between several commonly used Hazard Evaluation techniques applicable to them. Participants will be able to help identify/select the appropriate Hazard Evaluation technique base on selection criteria.
