Hazard Identification and Classification

Approaches:

• Desk-based;

• Workshop-based;

• Some combination of the two.

The approach or combination of approaches should be matched to the complexity and novelty of the proposed change.

Any identified safety measures shall be registered in the hazard log.

Carried out only up to a level of detail necessary to identify where safety measures are expected to control the risks by one of the risk acceptance principles.

Iteration may be necessary between the risk analysis and the risk evaluation phases.

Goal: assess the acceptability of the risk associated with the proposed system.

• This is done by evaluating the risk associated with each hazard of the system.
