Procedural Event Analysis Tool

A technique called the Procedural Event Analysis Tool (PEAT ) could be usefully applied here too.

A PHA is the initial effort in identifying hazards which singly or in combination could cause an accident or undesired event. PHA is a system-safety analysis tool used to identify hazard sources, conditions, and potential accidents (Roland and Moriarty, 1990). At the same time, PHA establishes the initial design and procedural safety requirements to eliminate or control these identified hazardous conditions. A PHA is performed in the early stages of the conceptual cycle of system development. It can be performed by engineers, contractors, production line supervisors, or safety professionals. Management must always first look at any risk involved in the operation of the system. 

Other examples of inductive tools that have limited application in incident investigation include failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), hazard and operability study (HAZOP), and event tree analysis (ETA). These are detailed in the CCPS book, Guidelines for Hazard Evaluation Procedures... 

Clearly the CP correction to the BSSE is an empirical device, not related to the physics of the problem, which must be accepted or refused on practical grounds, and in particular on the basis of its effectiveness (better results with acceptable computer costs). The study of an interaction act is not limited however to obtaining numerical values (e.g. the stabilization energy AE q and the corresponding geometry R q) but also involves the interpretation of the act. For this reason an empirical correction recipe, as the procedure CP is, must not introduce elements which contradict the accepted picture of the event and should preserve (or improve) the tools employed in the analysis before the introduction of the correction.
