Hazard analysis techniques for system safety

"This book explains, in detail, how to perform the most commonly used hazard analysis techniques employed by the system safety engineering discipline. The book also explains when and why to use each technique. The goal of this book is to explain each technique with sufficient detail and examples that the techniques can be easily understood and performed by the reader. The book is not overly technical, and can be easily understood by readers with a minimal amount of technical background. This book gathers the techniques safety analysts can apply into one reference source and describes them in a way that benefits both new and seasoned safety analysts. In addition, this book describes the three components that comprise a hazard, and how to use these components to recognized hazards during an analysis. It includes detailed examples that apply the methodology to everyday problems, making the concepts easier for the reader to grasp. The new edition updates the chapters with the latest information and includes new chapters on Concepts of Hazard Recognition, as well as chapters that address new techniques added in MIL-STD-882E and techniques that are becoming popular in different industries such as: Environmental Hazard Analysis, Process Hazard Analysis, Test Hazard Analysis, Job Hazard Analysis, and System of Systems Hazard Analysis"--Explains in detail how to perform the most commonly used hazard analysis techniques with numerous examples of practical applications Includes new chapters on Concepts of Hazard Recognition, Environmental Hazard Analysis, Process Hazard Analysis, Test Hazard Analysis, and Job Hazard Analysis Updated text covers introduction, theory, and detailed description of many different hazard analysis techniques and explains in detail how to perform them as well as when and why to use each technique Describes the components of a hazard and how to recognize them during an analysis Contains detailed examples that apply the methodology to everyday problems.

Concise encyclopedia of system safety [electronic resource] : definition of terms and concepts

Many system safety standards inadequately define safety terms and sometimes define them incorrectly. System Safety: Definition of Terms and Concepts is explicitly devoted to defining system safety terms and concepts as a convenient desk reference manual and helps the safety professional find their way through the current jungle of terms and definitions used in books, guidelines, standards and even laws. This handy sized reference provides the definition of many safety terms rather than having to search through a slew of different manuals and documents looking for the exact definition.

This handy sized reference provides the definition of many safety terms rather than having to search through a slew of different manuals and documents looking for the exact definition. This book also initiates an effort to adopt a single common and correct definition for all safety-related terms by providing clear and current definitions for safety-related terms.

Hazard analysis techniques for system safety [electronic resource]

This is a practical guide to identifying hazards using common hazard analysis techniques. Many different hazard analysis techniques have been developed over the past forty years. However, there is only a handful of techniques that safety analysts actually apply in their daily work. Written by a former president of the System Safety Society and winner of the Boeing Achievement and Apollo Awards for his safety analysis work, "Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety" explains, in detail, how to perform the most commonly used hazard analysis techniques employed by the system safety engineering discipline. Focusing on the twenty-two most commonly used hazard analysis methodologies in the system safety discipline, author Clifton Ericson outlines the three components that comprise a hazard and describes how to use these components to recognize a hazard during analysis. He then examines each technique in sufficient detail and with numerous illustrations and examples, to enable the reader to easily understand and perform the analysis. The techniques covered include: Preliminary Hazard List (PHL); Analysis Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA); Subsystem Hazard Analysis (SSHA); System Hazard Analysis (SHA); Operating and Support Hazard Analysis (O&SHA); Health Hazard Assessment (HHA); Safety Requirements/Criteria Analysis (SRCA); Fault Tree Analysis (FTA); Event Tree Analysis (ETA); Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA); Fault Hazard Analysis Functional Hazard Analysis Sneak Circuit Analysis (SCA); Petri Net Analysis (PNA); Markov Analysis (MA); Barrier Analysis (BA); Bent Pin Analysis (BPA); HAZOP Analysis Cause Consequence Analysis (CCA); Common Cause Failure Analysis (CCFA); and MORT Analysis Software Safety Assessment (SWSA). Written to be accessible to readers with a minimal amount of technical background, "Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety" gathers, for the first time in one source, the techniques that safety analysts actually apply in daily practice. Both new and seasoned analysts will find this book an invaluable resource for designing and constructing safe systems - in short, for saving lives.
