    The document discusses fault tree analysis, a logical risk assessment method used to determine possible causes and probabilities of unexpected events. It outlines the procedure for fault tree analysis, including defining a top event, identifying first and second level contributors below the top event using logical gates, identifying minimal cut sets, and calculating probabilities from the bottom up. An example of using fault tree analysis to evaluate the causes of a fire at a manufacturing company is also provided.

    Fault Tree Analysis.

    Hi,This is Manoj Kumar(HSE Professional with 15 years experience in


    various MNCs). Today I am going to discuss very effective tool for
    logical risk assessment method, which is widely utilized to determine
    the possible causes and occurrence probability of an unexpected event,
    called top event (system failure).

    Procedure of Fault Tree Analysis:

     Define the primary failure to be analyzed. In other words, identify


    the undesirable top event.

     Identify first-level contributors who are just below the top level
    using the available technical information.
     Link these contributors to the top-level event using logical gates
    (AND, OR gates), and also see the relationship to help identify
    the appropriate logical gate.

     Identify the second-level contributors and link to the top by using


    logical gates.

     Identify the minimal cut set.

     Repeat the same steps till the basic causes,

     Finally, complete and evaluate the FTA.

     Calculate the probability of the lowest level element occurrence


    and also measure the probabilities from the bottom up.

    Example of FTA
    A fire broke out at unit 1 of ABC cable manufacturing
    company despite the safety system in place. The General
    Manager was very concerned about the accident and
    requested the Safety Officer in charge to evaluate the system.
    However, as part of the initial analysis of the existing system,
    the safety team used FTA to identify the different causes of
    the accident.
