- Abstract
- The use of system safety on facilities requires that a Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) be conducted prior to design, during the planning phase, of the facilities acquisition process. Traditional PHA methods are not tailored to facilities acquisition and have not been easily grasped and applied by professional engineers, planners, and/or architects who have little or no system safety education and experience background. The purpose of this article is to introduce a basic methodology for conducting a PHA for a facility that may be more easily understood by these professionals involved in the facilities acquisition process. The PHA is the foundation cornerstone for system safety application to facilities acquisition.
