Aimed at safety specialists, this article reviews the methodologies available for evaluating chemical hazards. It firstly defines the general hazard analysis framework for the purpose of ensuring chemical safety, and then briefly describes the various analytical methods: preliminary hazard analysis (PHA); job hazard analysis (JHA); fault tree analysis (FTA); hazard and operability analysis (HAZOP); failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA); quantitative risk assessment (QRA); DOW fire and explosion index; layer of protection analysis (LOPA). |
