PRELIMINARY HAZARD ANALYSIS & HAZARD TRACKINGDuration: 2 Hours; Time 1:00PM EST 63 PowerPoint Slides Instructor: Hunter Austegard, Chief Technical Officer |

This is a very comprehensive LIVE webinar covering Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) & Hazard Tracking. It provides excellent insight into these two areas where opinions abound.
This webinar is more in-depth than covered in a System Safety course due to time limitations of courses to cover a large number of topics.
Many dedicated PHA & Hazard Tracking webinars have taken place.
PRELIMINARY HAZARD ANALYSIS
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.
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". The catch is that if the PHA sessions are not properly organized, the results can be pathetic. HCRQ has chaired a number of PHA sessions for clients with significant results.
Many horrible PHAs have been and continue to be produced. For instance, poor (how about horrible?) PHAs continue to be produced in the U.S. and Canada.
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 analyses.
By the way, we also cover Preliminary Hazard Lists (PHLs).

HAZARD TRACKING
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. Often hazard logs are one of three targets of litigation.
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.
Throughout our long system safety lifetime we have seen many terrible hazard logs. Most recently we saw one of these on a Toronto project.
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.
