Читать книгу Risk Assessment - Georgi Popov - Страница 26

Completing hazards analyses was a common practice in the chemical industry many years before requirements for them were established by OSHA and EPA. Although the body of knowledge in the chemical industry on hazard analysis is extensive, reference will be made here to only one publication because of its particular significant.

The Center For Chemical Process Safety is a part of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. One of its books is titled Guidelines For Hazard Evaluation Procedures, Second Edition With Worked Examples. Publication of the text by a chemically oriented group should not dissuade those who want an education in the following evaluation techniques. Their descriptions are generic.

Safety Review

Checklist Analysis

 Relative Ranking

 Preliminary Hazard Analysis

 What‐If analysis

 What‐If Checklist Analysis

 Hazard and Operability Analysis

 Fault Tree Analysis

 Event Tree Analysis

 Cause‐Consequence Analysis

 Human Reliability Analysis

These techniques are dealt with broadly in the Guidelines within chapters titled “Overview of Hazard Evaluation Techniques” and “Using Hazard Evaluation Techniques.”
