Remember, system hazards are not failures. Failures may contribute to hazards, but hazards are
system states that, combined with certain environmental conditions, cause accidents. Below are
example system hazards for automated train doors.
Notice that there are not many hazards in the list. The goal is not a bulk of possible hazards, but a
concise description of those conditions that are hazards. If a hazard list is too long, it is very likely
that causes are being listed along with, or instead of, hazards. Below is another list of hazards, this
time for an air traffic control system.
Controlled airborne aircraft gets too close to fixed obstacle other than a safe point of touchdown on
an assigned runway (CFIT)
Controlled airborne aircraft and an intruder in controlled airspace violate minimum separation.
Aircraft on ground comes too close to moving objects or collides with stationary objects and leaves
the paved area.
The cruise control system operates only when the engine is running. When the driver turns the
system on, the speed at which the car is traveling at that instant is maintained. The system monitors
the car's speed by sensing the rate at which the wheels are turning, and it maintains desired speed
by controlling the throttle position. After the system has been turned on, the driver may tell it to
start increasing speed, wait a period of time, and then tell it to stop increasing speed. Throughout
the time period, the system will increase the speed at a fixed rate, and then will maintain the final
speed reached.
The driver may turn off the system at any time. The system will turn off if it senses that the
accelerator has been depressed far enough to override the throttle control. If the system is on and
senses that the brake has been depressed, it will cease maintaining speed but will not turn off. The
driver may tell the system to resume sp
Hazard identification can sound like an intimidating process. Stare at a blank page;
then a miracle occurs; then read the final product. The truth is that there are a
number of techniques to help in hazard identification. Use historical safety
experience, lessons learned, trouble reports, hazard analyses, and accident and
incident files. All of these things should be collected by a successful system safety
effort. This may be more difficult if the organization has no history with the product
type that it proposes to construct. In some industries, information may be available
from other companies in that market segment. If not, regulatory bodies, industry
consortia, or users groups for similar products may have some information.
Many industries also have published lists, checklists, standards, and codes of
practice that may help guide hazard list development. For example, nuclear devices
for use by the US military must address a pre-existing hazard list.
Examine basic energy sources, flows, high-energy items, hazardous materials (fuels,
propellants, lasers, explosives, toxic substances, pressure systems) in the systems.
How might these energies be released in an uncontrolled manner? How else might
these energies participate in an accident? Often these materials suggest hazards,
particular at their interface or boundary with the rest of the system. In general, look at
potential interface problems such as material incompatibilities, possibilities for
inadvertent activation, contamination, and adverse environmental scenarios. Use
scientific investigation of physical, chemical, and other properties of the system, as
well.
For more possible hazards, review the mission of the system and basic performance
requirements including the environments in which operations will take place. Look at
all possible system uses, all modes of operation, all possible environments, and all
times during operation. Accidents often occur when systems are pushed to operate
beyond the assumptions the designers had in mind, so examine likely scenarios of
operation outside the planned environment of the system.
Lastly, think the entire process through, step by step, anticipating what might go
wrong, how to prepare for it, and what to do if the worst happens.
Once the hazard list has been compiled, it must be translated into design
constraints. This is not a difficult process, and a table from the train door example is
shown below.

Doors cannot be opened for emergency Means must be provided to open doors anywhere when
evacuation. the train is stopped for emergency evacuation.
Notice that the design constraints derived from the hazard list do not delve in the
mechanisms to conform with the design constraints. The design constraints are
merely an expression of properties the system must have to eliminate or control the
hazards in the hazard list. Another example, for part of an air traffic control system, is
shown in the table below.

Hazards, after being identified, must be assessed. Hazards are often ranked on two
axes, likelihood and severity. The combination of likelihood and severity creates a
ranking for the hazard. See the next two figures for hazard level matrices.
Hazard level assessment can be challenging. There is often no way to determine
likelihood, even qualitatively. With the advancing rate of change in technology,
systems often involve new technology, creating many unknowns. Fortunately,
severity is usually adequate to determine the effort to spend on eliminating or
mitigating hazards, and severity is much easier to determine.
System risk assessment is, again, not feasible. It may be possible to establish
qualitative criteria to evaluate potential risk. These criteria could be used to make
deployment or technology decisions. But this will depend on the system being
considered.
An example risk assessment can be found in the AATT (an advanced air traffic
system) Safety Criterion:
The introduction of AATT tools will not degrade safety from the current level.
Class I: Catastrophic
Unsurvivable accident with hull loss.
Class II: Critical
Survivable accident with less than full hull loss; fatalities possible
Class III: Marginal
Equipment loss with possible injuries and no fatalities
Class IV: Negligible
Some loss of efficiency
Procedures able to compensate, but controller workload likely to be high until
overall system demand reduced.
Reportable incident events such as operational errors, pilot deviations, surface
vehicle deviation.

All hazards in the system must be entered into a hazard log. A hazard log is
essential to any safety effort. The hazard log, part of the safety information system,
tracks information about hazards from their initial identification through elimination or
control. The hazard log should contain information such as:
Once the preliminary hazard analysis is complete, and the hazards are entered into
the hazard log, system hazard analysis can begin. (Bear in mind that in any
development process, there is lots of iteration and skipping around. It simply makes
it easier to discuss each step if they are presented in isolation from the others.)
