Description
Summary:Preliminary hazard analyses (PHAs) lack a precise and sound definition of their vocabulary, method and presentation format. The purpose of the work described in this paper is to improve the production and assessment of PHAs by providing experts with a software assistance. This paper presents the first stages of the study. These are: the definition of a basic vocabulary for PHAs, the definition of a new method for PHAs, the design of a tabular presentation of the results and, finally, the design of the software assistant architecture. 1 Introduction By way of introduction, we shall give a brief review of the place and objective of preliminary hazard analyses (PHAs) in the framewo
