Bow-Tie Consulting’s personnel will work with you to ensure that this most critical phase of risk analysis is undertaken to an adequate level of detail. A risk that is not identified will not be managed and an in-depth hazard identification process may be required.

We often assist our clients in hazard identification as a prelude to undertaking hazard analysis and more detailed consideration of the risks. We use PHA-Pro software to record the results of the study because it manages the data effectively and produces reports in Microsoft Word format.

Hazards vary between operations, procedures used, materials present and organisations. Hazards may be any activity, procedure, plant, process, substance, situation or other circumstance that has the potential to cause harm.

Bow-Tie Consulting will use its experience in all the major hazard identification techniques to ensure that the technique used in your organisation will best suit your requirements, instead of following an inappropriate common procedure.

Where the site is more complex, a range of techniques may be required. The range of hazard identification techniques we may utilise in your organisation include:

• HazId
• HAZOP
• FMEA
• FMECA
• Task Analysis
• Procedural HAZOP
• Brainstorming
• Fault-tree analysis
• Operation accident history analysis

We will bring our extensive knowledge of hazard identification techniques to ensure the most appropriate are used for your situation.
