 Hazard Analysis

 Initially a hazard analysis (HAZAN) is undertaken so as to ascertain


the magnitude of the potential problem

 Its potential for harm to the people, plant, process and the public

 A subsequent risk analysis will then go on to examine the actual


consequences – worst possible case considerations – and express
them in quantifiable terms
