Hazard identification major incident

Here, hazard identification is critical, because a single event may be benign, but cumulative or combinational effects may lead to a major incident. Consequence analysis reveals the effect of various incident outcomes. The likelihood of initiating incidents is estimated in likelihood analysis. Then, it is a question of risk interest, so it is necessary to categorize the risks as discussed in the previous clause, because one may be interested in finding human fatalities or injuries while others may be interested in loss of assets. 

It is clear, therefore, that both styles of major hazard regulation would have averted the accident, had they been in place. A safety case regime would have mandated a systematic hazard identification procedure which would have identified and controlled the hazard of cold temperature embrittlement. An incident report system which required the reporting and investigation of abnormal temperature events and leaks would also have resulted the discovery and control of the danger of embrittlement.
