Original Abstract

The aim of this hazard identification method is to use past accident results to prioritize efforts by focusing on the critical points of a process, prior to making a detailed quantitative assessment. The critical points (for example pipelines, vessels, etc.) are identified before making the detailed analyses such as FMEA, HAZOP, etc. Results of this method are the input to quantitative assessments, including: a) estimation of event frequency, b) estimation of the consequences, c) comparison with the hazards, and d) decisions and actions. The most difficult and timely step is the estimation of the consequences of accident scenarios. This hazard identification method focuses on the critical points of a process before making quantitative assessments; therefore it enhances the quality of risk assessments while reducing the costs.
