RISK ASSESMENT METHOD :

Technically Oriented
Method Aim, characteristic
Main group of technically oriented methods
T1 Energy Analysis Identifies energies that can harm human beings
T2 Hazard and Operability Identifies deviations from intended design of equipment
Studies (HAZOP)
HAZID Historical accident data analysis
T3 Failure Mode and Identifies failure of components or modules
Effect Analysis (FMEA)
T4 Fault Tree Analysis Shows logical connections and causes leading to an undesired event.
(FTA) analysis technique that visually models how logical relationships between equipment failures, human errors, and
external events can combine to cause specific accidents
T5 Event Tree Analysis Analyses alternative consequences of a specific hazardous event
T6 FSA IMO 2002 Formal safety assessment :
1. Hazard identification
2. Risk analysis
3. Risk control options
4. Cost benefit assessment
5. Recommendation for decision making
Complementary technically oriented methods
T7 Safety Barrier Diagram Present and analyses barriers to accidents (safety barriers)
T8 Cause-consequence Identifies possible causes for a critical event to happen and study its consequences
diagram
T9 Reaction Matrix Identifies combination of HAZMAT and estimates the potential of the chemical reaction
T10 What-if analysis brainstorming technique used to determine how projected performance is affected by changes in the assumptions
that those projections are based upon

Human Oriented
Method Aim, characteristic
H1 Action Error Method Identifies departures from specific job procedure that can lead to hazard
H2 Human reliability It provides probability safety assessment related to human errors
assessment (HRA)
H3 Technique for Human Analyses and quantifies probabilities of human errors
Error rate prediction
(THERP)
H4 Cognitive reliability and Used for accident investigations and the prediction of human performance
error analysis method
(CREAM)
H5 HAZOP, -human error Extended HAZOP method to include risks caused by human errors
H6 Hierarchical Task Analyses how work is organised.
Analysis Describing the goal of a task in hierarchy of operations
H7 Cognitive Task Analysis Studies the underlying mental processes that give rise to error

System Oriented
Methods, - Systems Aim, Main characteristic
oriented
O1 Job safety analysis Identifies hazards in job procedures,
Studying the sequence of the phases into which a job task can be broken down
Classifying the job tasks
Focuses on job tasks performed by a person or group
O2 Deviation analysis Defines what’s to consider as planned and normal production process and identifies deviation from that.
The system is structured functionally divides into functions
O3 Change analysis Identifies system changes and factor subject to changes, studying increasing of risks caused by the changes. Studies
the causes of problems through comparison with problem-free situation
Methods, - Management oriented
O4 Audits, in general Check the policy and intention in the company against how it actually operates
O5 Management Oversight Analyses the organisational programme for safety of system by using MORT tree diagram, using for accident
and risks tree (MORT) investigation
O6 International safety Commercial product (ISRS audit)
rating system (ISRS) Compares the effectiveness of the safety system with ISRS standard
O7 SHE Audit Guideline for audit a safety, health and environment system
O8 SCHAZOP HAZOP applied on organisation and especially on safety management system
 Methods, -safety system oriented
O9 Safety Function Analyses safety features and their weaknesses in the system
Analysis (SFA) Can also be used for accident investigations

Accident Analysis
Methods, Aim, Main characteristic
A1 Accident evolution and Analyses accidents and incidents by modelling an accidents as a series of human and technical interactions
Barrier Function (AEB) Diagram of human-factor system and technical system indicating barriers function
A2 Multilinear events Analyses accidents and incidents by studying the chronological sequence of an accident. The diagram of actions of
sequencing different actors
A3 Sequentially Timed Analyses accidents in systematic way, by using a detailed manual. Uses time-diagram showing all actors involved
Events Plotting (STEP)
A4 Change Analysis (See
O3)
