Fault Tree Analysis

Fault Tree Analysis is a structured technique that looks at top level hazards. It is a powerful design tool used to insure that production objectives are met.

Event Tree Analysis

Event Tree Analysis complements Fault Tree Analysis. Event Tree Analysis starts with a hazard.  Instead of working backwards as in the Fault Tree, it works forward.  The fault tree analysis describes all the possible events as a result of this hazard.  It then identifies the event sequences that could lead to a variety of possible consequences.

Structured “What If” Techniques (SWIFT)

The SWIFT is a systematic team-oriented technique for hazard identification.  As the name suggests, the technique looks at possible failure mechanisms for equipment or processes by asking the “What If?” question.
