Some organizations develop risk assessment systems that first determine the regulatory impact of each computer system by using the following questions. If there is no regulatory impact, no validation activities are required by the regulating agencies. However, those systems can be validated for business or other reasons. 

Risk Assessment Systems. Most of the techniques, design methods and applications in this book are deterministic. That is, some worst-case accident is assumed to happen, its effects are calculated to the best of our ability, and systems or structures are then designed to contain, suppress or mitigate the explosion accident effect.

The various hazard classification and chemical risk assessment systems reviewed above are designed in general with the end user of the chemical in mind. However, one of the oldest and best known chemical classification systems in the world is the United Nations (UN) Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, first published in 1956 [23].

This sort of question, considered from many views, would be typically asked in the decision process If it happens, can we stand it Aspects of an organization s culture cannot be fitted into a risk assessment system.

Another major management system factor is the risk assessment system. If the risks are not identified, evaluated, and reported accurately to management.

Some risk assessment systems include numerical categories for probability and severity levels and computations are made to arrive at a number that determines the risk level. Arriving at those numerical categories is entirely judgmental. Some of those numerical risk assessment systems are discussed in Chapter 10, Three-and Four-Dimensional Numerical Risk-Scoring Systems. ... 

For this primer, two-dimensional risk assessment matrices are discussed. They are displays of variations for two categories of terms the severity of harm or damage that could result from a hazards-related incident or exposure, and the probability that the incident or exposure could occur. They also show the risk levels that derive from the various combinations of severity and probability. A review of three- and four-dimensional risk assessment systems is given in Chapter 10, Three- and Four-Dimensional Numerical Risk-Scoring Systems. ... 

To emphasize It is not necessary to adopt a complicated and costly risk assessment system when the situations at hand can be resolved with a qualitative (subjective) and simpler system. Item A.7 in Appendix A, Example Mishap Risk Assessment Matrices, is truly educational. In several places in this book, readers are advised to develop risk assessment matrices suitable to the hazards and risks with which they deal and to keep them simple. That idea is supported in A.7, where it is said that ... 

However, the world of risk assessment is in transition. Some systems now in use are three- or four-dimensional, and they require numerical risk scorings. Safety professionals can expect that variations of numerical risk scoring systems will proliferate. Nevertheless, it needs to be said that two-dimensional, qualitative risk assessment systems are not obsolete. Often, a two-dimensional system will be selected because it is sufficient for the hazards and risks encountered and it works well within an organization. This chapter will inform safety professionals on ... 

Hazard analysis and risk assessment systems have been used for many years by certain heavy equipment manufacturers (HEM) in their design processes to achieve inherently safer products. Keep in mind that their principle concern in using the risk assessment method described here is product safety and the avoidance of injury to users of their equipment, or to bystanders. There are variations in the terms used in the several versions of this industry s Hazard Analysis System. In one version, these are the Risk Assessment Variables ... 

This system has a particular focus. It applies only to personal injury, principally to employees, that could derive from machinery operation. As will be seen, all of the listings for Degree of possible harm involve personal injuries. There are no entries for possible damage to property or the environment. The terms used to establish gradations and scores in the Likelihood of occurrence and Frequency of exposure categories are comparable to those in previously cited risk assessment systems. They follow in Tables 14-16. 

Kiimey and Wiruth developed a risk assessment system based parity on work in 1971 by William Fine, also from the US Navy. The system gives us some w s of describing the likehhood of a hazard giving rise to an unwanted event. The descriptors of likelihood are ... 

For safety professionals who are interested in a well-written dissertation on Implementing and Deployment of a risk assessment system that impacts on all design decisions, the chapter with that title, chapter 16, in Risk Assessment Challenges and Opportunities is recommended.

Risk assessment has been a legal requirement within the EU for some time, but in all its guises it is merely the means to an end. The end is the timely implementation of workable control measures designed to either eliminate or reduce risks to an acceptable or insignificant level. There are many established risk assessment systems. The HSE have developed their Five Steps to Risk Assessment which is largely qualitative in nature. The BSl have included a quantitative risk assessment model in their guide to occupational safety and health management systems. Chapter 2.4 provides an alternative risk assessment model.

Technical information systems Timely, accurate, relevant technical information is essential to any risk assessment effort. The same factors should be evaluated here that were evaluated under technical information systems on the specific control factors side of the chart, but this time the evaluation is from the perspective of technical information as it applies more broadly to the overall risk assessment system. On the specific control factors side of the chart, the emphasis was on the adequacy of technical information systems as they applied to the specific unwanted energy flow involved in the accident.
