Description
Hazards analysis can be intimidating: one mistake can literally be a life-or-death issue. What happens if a hazard is missed? What happens if a hazard is mistakenly characterized? What happens if a hazard is not adequately controlled? The instructors will present a unified method for the hazards identification, hazards screening, and hazards evaluation as well as control derivation and control hierarchy analysis. A thread analysis is a method to ensure identified hazards are analyzed and controlled. The hazards analysis process will be revealed in clear and concise discussion.
This PDC will be a discussion: attendees are encouraged to bring problems, experiences, and questions. Participants will be guided in a brainstorming activity to collectively identify hazards, brainstorm hazard events, assign consequences, and derive “credited” controls. Throughout the PDC, instructors will provide examples of the performance and value of a thread analysis to ensure a connection of the Hazard Analysis process from start to finish. Attendees will leave with the experience of the practical application of performing a hazards analysis with a connected Hazards Identification Checklist, Screening Evaluation, Hazards Analysis Table, and Qualitative Risk Analysis.
Learning Objectives
After this online PDC, participants will be able to:
- Perform a hazards analysis based on a real world example.
- Complete a hazard identification checklist on a real world example.
- Use a risk matrix to develop a control hierarchy.
- Complete a thread analysis on the hazards analysis results.
- Compare their efforts/outcomes with a completed, reviewed, and approved analysis.
