Hazard and Risk Analysis

Officially in ISO 26262 this method is called hazard analysis and risk assessment, because ASIL, which have to be assigned to safety goals, should be a measure of the necessary activities that need to be taken in order to achieve the required risk reduction. Current risk is only marginally assessed and the aim is to examine possible situation and potential malfunctions of a vehicle system or the ITEM that can lead to a hazard. It is obviously possible to imply from the hazard and possible malfunction to the risk, but a risk assessment itself is not necessary for the application of the method. 

Risk conditions in ISO DIS 26262 (see Fig. 4.7) were described similarly. This model is not complete, since parked cars can also bum down, for example, because 

In other industries comparable analyses are often called Preliminary Hazard (Risk) Analysis, (PRA) . In this context, after all analyses and verifications, the result is again illustrated through the risks of the hazard and risk analysis during the following architecture and design measures. If the illustration or the transparency of safety goals is not given, the risk analysis has to be adapted. Therefore, the analysis is never completed. The process iterations are important safety measures.

Government regulations reqmre hazard and risk analysis as part of process safety management (PSM) programs. These are part of the process safety programs of many chemical process facilities. 

It is essential that good techniques be developed for identi ng significant hazards and mitigating them where necessaiy. Hazards can be identified and evaluated using approaches discussed in the section on hazard and risk analysis. 

ERPG is defined in the section on hazard and risk analysis. 

In Section 20.2, equations for tlie reliability of series and parallel systems are established. Various reliability relations are developed in Section 20.3. Sections 20.4 and 20.5 introduce several probability distribution models lliat are extensively used in reliability calculations in hazard and risk analysis. Section 20.6 deals witli tlie Monte Carlo teclinique of mimicking observations on a random variable. Sections 20.7 and 20.8 are devoted to fault tree and event tree analyses, respectively. 

Loss-of-Containment Causes The list in Table 23-30 indicates four basic ways in which containment can be lost. These cause cate-ories can be used both as a checklist of considerations during the esign process and as a starting point for evaluating the adequacy of safeguards as part of a process hazard and risk analysis. 

In 1993, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) published Guidelines for Safe Automation of Chemical Processes (referred to henceforth as Safe Automation). Safe Automation provides guidelines for the application of automation systems used to control and shut down chemical and petrochemical processes. The popularity of one of the hazard and risk analysis methods presented in Safe Automation led to the publication of the 2001 Concept Series book from CCPS, Layer of Protection Analysis A Simplified Risk Assessment Approach. This method builds upon traditional process hazards analysis techniques. It uses a semiquantitative approach to define the required performance for each identified protective system. 

Hazard and Risk Analysis Consideration should be given to identifying process hazards as early as possible in the process equipment design, so that measures can be taken to reduce or eliminate the hazards. Inherently safer design strategies, such as minimize, substitute, moderate, and simplify, should be implemented. 

Hazard and risk analysis is a vast subject by itself and is extensively covered in the literature [22]. In order to plan to avoid accidental hazards, the hazard potential must be evaluated. Many new methods and techniques have been developed to assess and evaluate potential hazards, employing chemical technology and reliability engineering. These can be deduced from Fault Tree Analysis or Failure Mode Analysis [23], In these techniques, the plant and process hazard potentials are foreseen and rectified as far as possible. Some techniques such as Hazards and operability (HAZOP) studies and Hazard Analysis (HAZAN) have recently been developed to deal with the assessment of hazard potentials [24]. It must be borne in mind that HAZOP and HAZAN studies should be properly viewed not as ends in themselves but as valuable contributors to the overall task of risk management... 

The standard gives guidance on E/E/PE Systems. The goal may be achieved by more than one safety-related system and by a bundle of measures, but always based on hazard and risk analysis, on getting the overall safety requirements right, and by developing a concept for proper safety requirements allocation. 

The important step to safety as well as security is hazard and risk analysis beforehand—and based on these, safety requirements may be defined and allocated as well as security requirements. 

The information presented here applies to all locations that use chemicals or chemical products. [NOTE Throughout this document, the term chemicals is used to indicate chemicals and/or chemical products as described in Section 3, below.] This chapter is intended only to address safety and health-related hazard and risk analysis requirements applicable to chemical user activities. It consolidates existing, core safety and health requirements that all sites must follow when engaged in chemical-related activities.

In summary, the hazard and risk analysis should consider the following ... 

Given this information, a hazard and risk analysis is performed (Ref. 9,10, and 11) that identifies possible hazards and then establishes the consequence and likelihood of each. On some projects, consequence is determined through detailed analysis, and on others it is done by estimation. Likewise, likelihood analysis is sometimes performed by detailed analysis and sometimes by estimation. With the emergence of... 

Let us comment on the case where a safety specification is not available. Generally speaking, the lawgiver demands that the hazards and risks of the system are acceptable for all stakeholders. He requires that new systems should use state-of-practice technologies for achieving acceptable risks. Based on these principles often safety requirements are specified in standards. If standards are not available, necessary risk reduction measures can be derived from system analysis and quantitative or quahtative hazard and risk analysis (see e.g. lEC 61508). The hazard and risk analysis should consider all potential hazards, for instance, all stakeholders brainstorm on the basis of sufficient system knowledge. 

The reliability performance of the SIS is referred to as safety integrity in the lEC-standards. This is the probability that the SIS satisfactorily performs the required SIFs, under stated conditions and for a stated period of time (lEC 61511 2003). In an early design phase, a hazards and risk analysis is performed to establish the required level of safety integrity of each SIF that is performed by the SIS, and in design and operation, it is necessary to demonstrate that this level of safety integrity is met. 

Performing a hazard and risk analysis is one of the first steps that must be done when designing hoist and haul systems. The hazard and risk analysis will include all possible hazardous events that can occur. Annex B in [ISO 12100] gives support during the hazard and risk analysis by listing different types of hazards ...
