Selection of Hazard Evaluation Techniques

The ability to ensure process safety at a facility is influenced by many things: for example, employing appropriate technology in design and construction, anticipating the effects of external circumstances, understanding and dealing with human behavior, getting high reporting of near misses to learn from incidents, and having effective management systems. However, all of these efforts depend on a successful hazard evaluation program; without these evaluations, the company will not know what layers of protection are needed.
