Hazard analysis
Is a systematic process used to identify, assess, and manage potential hazards or risks within a
system, process, activity, or environment. The goal of hazard analysis is to prevent accidents, injuries,
damage to property.
1- What is the Role of the Hazard Analysis?

The role of hazard analysis is multifaceted and plays a crucial part in ensuring the safety and reliability
of systems, processes, and environments. Includes:
 Identification of Hazards: Hazard analysis involves systematically identifying and recognizing

potential hazards or risks associated with a system, process, or environment.
 Risk assessment: Is a process that evaluates the severity and likelihood of identified risks,
using qualitative or quantitative methods to prioritize and address critical issues.
 Preventive Measures: The primary role of hazard analysis is to develop and recommend
mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate the identified hazards.
 Decision Support: Hazard analysis provides decision-makers with crucial information about
potential risks. This information allows organizations to make informed decisions regarding the
design, operation, and maintenance of systems and processes.
2- Seven steps of hazard analysis.
 Define the Scope: Clearly define the scope of the hazard analysis, including the system,
process, or activity.
 Identify Hazards: Systematically identify potential hazards associated with the defined scope.
 Determine the Consequences: Evaluate the potential consequences or impacts of each
identified hazard.
 Assess the Likelihood: Determine the probability of each identified hazard leading to adverse
consequences. This step involves considering factors such as frequency, exposure, and the
probability of failure in the system or process.
 Risk Evaluation: Combine the assessments of consequences and likelihood to evaluate the
overall risk associated with each hazard. This step helps prioritize hazards based on their level
of risk.
 Develop Mitigation Strategies: Identify and develop effective mitigation strategies to reduce or
eliminate the risks associated with each hazard.
 Document and Communicate: Thoroughly document the hazard analysis process, including the
identified hazards, risk assessments, and mitigation strategies.
3- Potential Areas of Use(s).

Hazard analysis is a versatile tool that can be applied across various industries:
 Food and Beverage Industry: Identify and mitigate potential hazards in food processing and
production to ensure food safety and prevent contamination.
 Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals: Assess risks in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and
laboratories, to ensure patient safety.
 Manufacturing and Industrial Processes: Identify and mitigate potential hazards in
manufacturing and industrial processes to ensure worker safety, prevent accidents, and
maintain the integrity of equipment.
 Construction and Engineering: Analyze potential hazards on construction sites to enhance
worker safety, prevent accidents, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
4- What are the Basic Elements of a Hazard Analysis?

 Hazard Identification: Identifying and developing a list of potential hazards.
 Hazard Evaluation: Assessing the relative risks, severity, significance, and likelihood of
occurrence of the potential hazard in the specific food processing and handling system.
5- What Outputs Can Be Expected from a Hazard Analysis?

A hazard analysis produces several important outputs that contribute to risk management, safety
improvement, and decision-making within an organization. Includes:
 List of Identified Hazards: A comprehensive list of potential hazards and risks associated with
the system, process, activity, or environment under analysis.
 Risk Assessment Results: Documentation of the risk assessments for each identified hazard,
including evaluations of severity, likelihood, and overall risk.
 Emergency Response Plans: Development or enhancement of emergency response plans
based on the identified hazards.
 Prioritized Risk Register: A risk register or matrix that organizes and prioritizes the identified
hazards based on their level of risk.
Definitions:
 Evaluation: Evaluation is a systematic process of assessing, appraising, or examining something
to determine its value, effectiveness, or quality. The purpose of evaluation is to gather
information, analyze it,
 Resolution: Refers to the process of addressing or mitigating identified hazards. It involves
taking corrective actions to eliminate or reduce the risks associated with hazards to an
acceptable level.
 Timely Solution: Timely solutions refer to the provision of effective and efficient answers,
actions, or remedies within a reasonable and appropriate timeframe.
 Corrective Action: Refers to the systematic process of identifying, addressing, and rectifying
issues, deviations, or non-conformances that have been identified during monitoring, inspection,
or as a result of an incident.
 CCP Decision Tree: A Critical Control Point (CCP) Decision Tree is a visual tool used in Hazard
Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) systems to assist in the identification of critical
control points.
 Critical Control Point: This phrase describes the precautions which must be in place if the food
you sell is going to be safe to eat.
 Deviation: A condition that deviates from the normal behavior of the process and directly leads
to a risk.
 HACCP System: HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. It is a systematic
approach to food safety that is designed to prevent, eliminate, or reduce hazards in food
production processes.
 HACCP Team: The HACCP team, within the context of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control
Points (HACCP) system, plays a crucial role in the development, implementation, and
maintenance of the HACCP plan. The team is responsible for conducting hazard analyses,
identifying critical control points (CCPs), establishing critical limits, and implementing
monitoring and corrective action procedures.
 Hazard: A hazard refers to any situation, substance, or condition that has the potential to cause
harm, damage, or adverse effects to people, property, the environment.
 Risk: An event that might occur that threatens safety, either human or environmental.
 Severity: Refers to the degree of seriousness or intensity of something, often in the context of
an adverse event, condition, or impact. It is a measure of the extent to which an event or
condition can cause harm, damage, or negative consequences.
