A practical guide to identifying hazards using common hazardanalysis techniques
Many different hazard analysis techniques have been developed overthe past forty years. However, there is only a handful oftechniques that safety analysts actually apply in their daily work.Written by a former president of the System Safety Society andwinner of the Boeing Achievement and Apollo Awards for his safetyanalysis work, Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safetyexplains, in detail, how to perform the most commonly used hazardanalysis techniques employed by the system safety engineeringdiscipline.
Focusing on the twenty-two most commonly used hazard analysismethodologies in the system safety discipline, author CliftonEricson outlines the three components that comprise a hazard anddescribes how to use these components to recognize a hazard duringanalysis. He then examines each technique in sufficient detail andwith numerous illustrations and examples, to enable the reader toeasily understand and perform the analysis.
Techniques covered include:
* Preliminary Hazard List (PHL) Analysis
* Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)
* Subsystem Hazard Analysis (SSHA)
* System Hazard Analysis (SHA)
* Operating and Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA)
* Health Hazard Assessment (HHA)
* Safety Requirements/Criteria Analysis (SRCA)
* Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
* Event Tree Analysis (ETA)
* Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
* Fault Hazard Analysis
* Functional Hazard Analysis
* Sneak Circuit Analysis (SCA)
* Petri Net Analysis (PNA)
* Markov Analysis (MA)
* Barrier Analysis (BA)
* Bent Pin Analysis (BPA)
* HAZOP Analysis
* Cause Consequence Analysis (CCA)
* Common Cause Failure Analysis (CCFA)
* MORT Analysis
* Software Safety Assessment (SWSA)
Written to be accessible to readers with a minimal amount oftechnical background, Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safetygathers, for the first time in one source, the techniques thatsafety analysts actually apply in daily practice. Both new andseasoned analysts will find this book an invaluable resource fordesigning and constructing safe systems-- in short, for savinglives.
