System Safety Analytical Technology - Preliminary Hazard Analysis

Abstract

This document describes the method for performing a Preliminary Hazard Analysis (also known as a Gross Hazard Analysis) and using the derived results. This analysis is a method for identifying hazardous elements, hazardous conditions, and potential accidents; determining the significance of their potential effect; and establishing initial design and procedural safety requirements to eliminate or control these identified hazardous conditions and potential accidents. The data and information thereby derived can be used to serve other initial system safety needs, such as prediction, planning, and priority allocation.
