A hazard analysis and risk assessment method must be used in determining risk and the hazards management actions to be taken. A good hazard analysis/risk assessment model will enable decision makers to understand and categorize the risks and to determine the methods and costs to reduce risks to an acceptable level. Chapter 14 addresses Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment. ... 

The software safety assurance process starts with the Hazards Analysis Risk Assessment (HARA). This step aims to determine safety-relevant systems functions, the safety requirements of these functions (maximum tolerable failure probabilities) as well as the potential demands for additional safety functions. The different safety standards generally agree on common HARA techniques [6].

In this paper, we propose a structured method based on UML environment models supported by a tool. We assume that an item definition, hazard analysis, risk assessment and safety goals according to ISO 26262 are given (see e.g. [2]). In this paper, we focus on the next step the creation of a functional safety concept (FSC) in which we show how the functional safety requirements are systematically derived. In the FSC, additionally, requirements may be decomposed in order to lower the ASIL. Furthermore, the functional safety requirements are allocated to elements of a preliminary architecture. These aspects are appropriately described in the ISO 26262 and need no further explanation and improvement and are, therefore, not part of this paper. The contribution of our paper can be summarized as follows ... 

Our case study is an electronic steering column lock (ESCL) system, which was presented at the VDA Automotive SYS Conference 2012 , June 18/20, 2012, Berlin, Germany and at the VDI Conference Baden-Baden Spezial 2012 , October 10/11, 2012, Baden-Baden, Germany. Item definition, hazard analysis, risk assessment and the safety goals exist. More details on this topic can be found in [2]. We show the applicability of our method by executing the method steps to the ESGL-example.

The terminology used varies considerably. Hazard identification and risk assessment are sometimes combined into a general category called hazard evaluation. Risk assessment is sometimes called hazard analysis. A risk assessment procedure that determines probabilities is frequently called probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), whereas a procedure that determines probability and consequences is called quantitative risk analysis (QRA).

There has been a question about which method is more appropriate for the analysis of toxicity data. In order to make a selection it is important to understand that toxicity data is used for hazard or risk assessment. Curve-fitting and regression modeling has clear advantages. 

Incorporating combined biodegradation and toxicity studies can improve both hazard and risk assessment of complex organic effluents such as those assessed in this study. For these effluents conventional analysis alone will reveal little about their toxicity, let alone the persistence of organic components. Therefore whole... 

In considering the adequacy of specific investigations as a basis to identify hazard in risk assessment, several features of study design are considered including the purity of the compound administered, the size of the study (i.e., numbers of exposed and control animals), whether the study was performed under Good Laboratory Practice standards, the relevance of the route of exposure to that of humans, duration of exposure, the number and suitability of the dose levels administered, the extent of examination of various toxicological endpoints, and the statistical analysis of the data (HC 1994 Meek et al. 1994). Criteria for the technical adequacy of animal carcinogenicity studies have been published (e.g., Chhabra et al. 1990 NTP 1984 OSTP 1986). 

As noted above, the Committee of Enquiry into the use of CS in Northern Ireland recommended that chemical agents intended for use in the control of a civil disturbance should be assessed from the viewpoint more of a medicinal drug than that of a military weapon (HMSO, 1969,1971). However, in reaching this conclusion the Committee did make the distinction that with new drugs there is a need for a balanced risk-benefit analysis and these are purely professional medical considerations. However, with a chemical intended for use against humans for peacekeeping purposes, while many of the hazard and risk assessments are of a medical nature, additional other questions may arise which are concerned with social policy and there may also be...

Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis is essential for the development of pesticides and for the evaluation of cancer hazard and risk assessment. The critical factors that should be considered in SAR analysis and the profile of typical potent carcinogens are discussed. A scheme combining structural and functional criteria for suspecting chemical compounds of carcinogenic activity is presented. Selected classes of pesticides with carcinogenic potential are reviewed to exemplify structural and/or functional features responsible for their carcinogenic activity. 

The required modification may require a full hazard and risk assessment including all possible effects on the unchanged parts of the system (safety impact analysis).

An analysis shall be carried out on the impact on functional safety as a result of the proposed decommissioning activity. The assessment shall include an update of the hazard and risk assessment sufficient to determine the breadth and depth that subsequent safety life-cycle phases shall need to be re-taken.

With respect to REACH this study confirms the results of van Asselt and Renn (2011) that in supply chains the systemic risks requires a holistic hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk management because investigating systemic risks goes beyond the usual agent-consequence analysis.

In the previous chapter, it was established that in industry, plant hazards can cause harm to property (plant—machinery, asset), people, or the environment. So, it is important to develop some means of analyzing these and come up with a solution. Unfortunately, it is not as straightforward as it sounds. There are plenty of plant hazard analysis (PHA) techniques and each of them has certain strengths and weaknesses. Also each specific plant and associated hazard has specific requirements to be matched so that hazard analysis will be effective. In this chapter, various hazards (in generic terms) will be examined to judge their importance, conditions, quality, etc. so that out of so many techniques available for PHA it is possible to select which one is better (not the best because that needs to be done by experts specifically for the concerned plant) suited for the type of plant. So, discussion will be more toward evaluation of PHA techniques. Some PHA is more suited for process safety management (PSM) and is sometimes more applicable for internal fault effects [e.g., hazard and operability study (HAZOP)]. In contrast, hazard identification (HAZID) is applicable for other plants, especially for the identification of external effects and maj or incidents. HAZID is also covered in this chapter. As a continuation of the same discussion, it will be better to look at various aspects of risk analysis with preliminary ideas already developed in the previous chapter. In risk analysis risk assessment, control measures for safety management systems (SMSs) will be discussed to complete the topic.
