Hazard severity categories

damage, damage to national interest.

b) B - Probably will occur in time.
c) C - May occur in time.
d) D - Unlike to occur.
Three methods of controlling hazards.
(1) Prevent the hazard at the design stage.
(2) Identify and eliminate existing hazards.
(3) Reduce the likelihood and severity of mishaps from hazards that cannot be
eliminated.
Least preferred method of control
PPE
