In addition to tlie exponential and Weibull distributions, several otlier probability distributions figure prominently in reliability calculations and hazard risk analysis. Presented below are tlieir pdfs, principal characteristics, and an indication of their application. 

In addition to tlie probability distribution discussed above, tliere are several other well-known distributions tliat can be used in hazard risk analysis... 

This book is divided into five parts the problem, accidents, health risk, hazard risk, and hazard risk analysis. Part 1, an introduction to HS AM, presents legal considerations, emergency planning, and emergency response. This Part basically ser es as an oveiwiew to the more teclmical topics covered in the remainder of the book. Part 11 treats the broad subject of accidents, discussing fires, explosions and other accidents. The chapters in Parts 111 and Part IV provide introductory material to health and hazard risk assessment, respectively. Pai1 V examines hazaid risk analysis in significant detail. The thiee chapters in this final part include material on fundamentals of applicable statistics theory, and the applications and calculations of risk analysis for real systems. 

To those already familiar with hazard/risk analysis methods, a "PHA" designates a Preliminary Hazard Analysis. Unfortunately, the PSM Rule uses these same letters to designate Process Hazard Analysis. In this document, PrHA will designate Process Hazard Analysis to avoid confusion with Preliminary Hazard Analysis. Note that other literature may be confusing on this issue.
