Chapter 4 Preliminary Hazard List 4.1 INTRODUCTION The preliminary hazard list (PHL) is an analysis technique for identifying and listing potential hazards and mishaps that may exist in a system. The PHL is performed during conceptual or preliminary design and is the starting point for all subsequent hazard analyses. Once a hazard is identified in the PHL, the hazard will be used to launch in-depth hazard analyses and evaluations, as more system design details become available. The PHL is a means for management to focus on hazardous areas that may require more resources to eliminate the hazard or control risk to an acceptable level. Every hazard identified on the PHL will be analyzed with more detailed analysis techniques. This analysis technique falls under the conceptual design hazard analysis type (CD-HAT). The PHL evaluates design at the conceptual level, without detailed information, and it provides a preliminary list of hazards. There are no alternate names for this technique. 4.2 BACKGROUND The primary purpose of the PHL is to identify and list potential system hazards. A secondary purpose of the PHL is to identify safety critical parameters and mishap categories. The PHL analysis is usually performed very early in the design develop- ment process and prior to performing any other hazard analysis. The PHL is used as a management tool to allocate resources to particularly hazardous areas within the design, and it becomes the foundation for all other subsequent hazard analyses Hazard Analysis Techniques for System Safety, by Clifton A.
