Hazards Analysis & Risks Assessment: by Sebastien A. Daleyden Vincent M. Goussen

This document discusses hazard analysis and risk assessment. It begins by explaining the importance of safety in design and what hazard analysis is as an engineer's tool. Hazard analysis is defined as identifying all possible hazards that could be created by a product, process, or application. Risk assessment then evaluates the probability and severity of identified hazards. The document outlines the general risk assessment protocol and explains each step in the process. It also introduces Designsafe, a new computer tool designed to help engineers efficiently conduct hazard analysis.
