Preliminary Hazard Analysis and Hazard Tracking

 

This is a comprehensive seminar covering Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) & Hazard Tracking.


In the case of MIL-STD-882 System Safety Programs, PHA is the first analysis performed. This hazard identification technique is the precursor to all subsequent safety analyses. In the case of SAE ARP4761, Functional Hazard Assessment (FHA) is the first analysis performed. Some people use HAZOP or FMEA techniques for this purpose.

The PHA identifies safety-critical areas, provides an initial assessment of hazards, and identifies requisite hazard controls and follow-on actions. The PHA is used to obtain an initial risk assessment of the system hazards. Safety provisions and alternatives, with potential to eliminate hazards or to reduce their associated risk to an acceptable level are included in the PHA. The process used to perform a PHA is often referred to as "brainstorming".

Many horrible PHAs have been produced.

Over the years, HCRQ derived a technique called Optimal Hazard Identification (OHI). OHI optimizes the hazard identification process with the result being a more complete, more expedient (therefore less costly) product - guaranteed. OHI also provides a better foundation for subsequent causal analysis.

By the way, we also cover Preliminary Hazard Lists (PHL's).


Hazard tracking commences when hazards are identified and continues throughout the life of the system. Various attributes of hazards are recorded in what is known as a hazard tracking database or hazard log.

Hazard tracking reports, generated from the hazard log, provide system safety progress visibility, and derived system safety requirement traceability for use in progress reports and system safety working group meetings.

Unfortunately, the quality, content and use of hazard logs vary substantially.

Similar to OHI, HCRQ derived a technique called Optimal Hazard Logging (OHL). OHL enhances hazard logging and, in so doing, provides an improved product which has been welcomed by clients, contractors, and regulators.


Insight

Insight, into these areas, is based on years of experience planning, and executing System Safety Programs for all types of safety-related systems.

With respect to PHAs, HCRQ's services have been used many times to coordinate these analyses such that optimal results are achieved.
